No filter needed for the beautiful display of bluebells this year in the Ring Wood. The rain we’ve had this year has made them such a thick carpet and full of colour. Isn’t nature amazing? As farmers we have cursed the wet spring and the cold days, the weather impacts on everything we do. But look at what it brings in nature.
This month is Scottish Agritourism month and though we’re late in getting started with the social media campaign, we are huge supporters of this vivid, hardworking and embracing community of farmers who open their land and lives up to visitors. We’re novices here at Bengairn Country Lodges, but learning fast thanks to the support we get. But hey, it’s not all about us! Make one of your next trips or day out to a #goruralscotland farm - you’ll have a great time - guaranteed!

Sunrise over Hestan island used to be the highlight of my day as I started the 40min commute to work. Nowadays it’s only one of the highlights 🌅 Catch your morning sunrise and make your day bright.
Hestan is an iconic little island that sits perfectly in Auchencairn Bay. It’s the wow factor as you descend from the lodges into the village at any time of the day, on any day.
Have a great Monday 🌞

It’s hard to believe that this was what the loch was like before we started developing Bengairn Country Lodges. I think it’s better now. More open water, more bird life and through careful management a wonderful habitat for insects and invertebrates.

We’ve had the happiest December with these little guys who have made us smile every day. We’re sad to see them go to their new forever homes in the next couple of days but know we can’t keep them all and can only hope they get as much love in their new families as we have given them. We are keeping 2 boys and struggling for names - any ideas?

Puppy update - 6 weeks old today - no wonder they’re scooting about! Mum has decided she’s had enough of motherhood so we’ve been on shifts with 4 feeds/day. Finlay has made them the ultimate bed - The Puppy Pod 🐶. Look at those happy waggy tails 🥰

Needing just a little bit of magic to sell our 2023 Scotch Mule gimmer crop at Wallets Mart at Castle Douglas today. Lots of work has gone in since you saw these ladies at lambing time and they’re looking the part. August is a busy month! Silage and sheep 😀. Wish us luck as we find new homes for these girls 🐑
