FIND YOUR RURAL IN THE RUGGED HIGHLANDS
There are lots of farms in the Highlands but most are significantly smaller than you'd find elsewhere in Scotland, both in terms of area and the number of animals a farmer keeps. Crofts, which are small pieces of agricultural land are more common in the Highlands (and Islands), than in any other area of Scotland and crofting is an integral part of life in the area; it is steeped in community cultures and traditions.
Of course on Highland farms, you'll find Highland cattle, with their distinctive horns and the long shaggy coats that help them to withstand the cooler temperatures of the north. Bred primarily for beef, the cattle have migrated south over time and you'll even find them abroad, but there is something pretty special about seeing Highland cattle in their native habitat.
