Cosy season is here. As the temperature drops; sharp showers roll in on a brisk wind. Wild (occasionally wet) hikes are rounded off with wood fired saunas, log burning fires and the smell of woodsmoke. This is our favourite time of year. Come stay.

Proud to be part of the second batch of recruits put through the off road quad training for our volunteer Pentland Fire Group. A wonderful day of learning put on by Far by Four up-skilling the first responders. This tiny but mighty group is slowly but surely getting trained up and properly equipped as and when we can. The dedication to the cause has been extraordinary especially considering it is all privately funded and voluntary time. I love our Pentland folk (from near & far) that have offered their help and support. We are grateful for each and every one of you.

Idris, Sienna, Barbour & a funny wee place called This is Eastside. With cameos from dad in the car with Sienna (of course) and mum birding. It’s a funny old job farming sheep. 🐑 🎬

We’ve been keeping a wee secret about a wee brand called Barbour. A lovely guy called Idris and a wonderful girl called Sienna. And a funny wee place called Eastside. Sometimes it’s a mad life farming sheep.

The Green Cleugh, home to the pinnacle heft a wild band of 68 ewes. Hefted to the place they stay here without fencing; always making their way back to the hills of home whenever they are gathered to Eastside for tupping or shearing. They know this place like the back of their hand passing up better grazing to get home. There’s no place like home.

There are 7 hefts on Eastside, each with microhefts within them, we have been learning more about these with the Monil Virtual Fences sheep collars. Sheep have an extraordinary bond to place. Watching their behaviour within the app has been a privilege, becoming a wee part of their world as they navigate the hill.
