Highland Cow Experience

Balnahard Farm offers visitors the opportunity to meet and safely interact with our Highland cows in their natural setting. The experience includes access to our hill ground, where you can enjoy stunning panoramic views while photographing the fold in its environment. Guests will also have the chance to feed and gently brush our friendly younger calves, making for a memorable and hands-on farm experience. We are able to take up to 6 guests per group and can offer teas, coffees, fine pieces and even some fizz and strawberries if you're feeling fancy! We ask that you disclose any allergies or dietary requirements 48 hours before arrival and advise nobody who is pregnant to attend the experience. We also kindly ask that no pets attend the experience as well. We can't wait to meet you!

Balnahard Farm

Banchory, Scotland5.0(1)

We are a working upland tennant farm based on Finzean Estate, Aberdeenshire with sheep and highland cattle. The farm has been in the 'Christie' family for generations and was taken over by Euan Christie in 2018. Since then we have grown our sheep numbers and have recently introduced highland cattle to the farm. We are offering 'Highland Cow Experiences' to visitors on the farm. This will include the chance to get up close (safely behind fencing) to the highland cows whilst also taking in our scenic panoramic hillside views. Visitors will also have the chance to feed and brush our highland cow calves and have the option to some tasty treats provided by our local farm shop. This is an authentic farm experience and we will be able to take maximum of 5 people per group. Prior booking required and we ask no pets are brought for the experience. If visitors have an dietary or physical requirements we ask for them to be disclosed upon booking to prevent disappointment.
