For outdoor family fun in the countryside join us at Kersheugh Farm for a guided tour. Venture into the rolling Scottish Borders landscape with your gang of explorers and share the experience of everyday life on our working family farm.
With 435 acres of farmland, nestled within the peaceful Scottish Borders countryside, there’s plenty of space to roam in true farmer style from the comfort of our Land Rover drawn trailer.
We set off from the farmyard, leaving the rest of the world behind and journey through wide open fields of friendly wool-shedding sheep and Salers cattle (with their distinct thick, red, curly coats). Reaching the top of the farm you are rewarded with spectacular views of Penielheugh and Ruberslaw.
Each tour lasts an hour and can accommodate up to twelve people. You and your group can take time to relax, enjoy the stunning landscape and the fresh air.

Learn about the animals, their life on the farm and how we take care of them.
We (Fenwick and Jasmine- your friendly, knowledgeable guides) will chat to you about our daily and seasonal routines answer any questions about our way of life along the way.
There’s always something different happening on the farm, depending on the season and needs of the animals. You may see a lamb being born in spring or get involved delivering the cows their minerals.
On returning to the farm there will be pet lambs to meet – depending on the season – and collie pups too, if we have any.
The tour concludes with a cuppa for the grown-ups. Kids can play on the farm toys in the paddock and we’ll answer any further questions you may have.
It’s not every day you get the chance to be guided through vast tracts of farmland and learn from experienced farm workers, mingle with the charismatic animals and take in jaw dropping views.
