We visited the Highland Cattle Park. The wee coos were so adorable & they were all so peaceful! The bulls were in a different field and just massive! In total, there were 4 fields with coos. Benches & shady trees. Will definitely love to visit again to see more of the huge park!

🌲🌳 Always opportunities for decent but easy walks. The house grounds are excellent for walking, as is the paved trail along White Cart Water. One downside is parking is relatively expensive - £5 minimum to park up near the house, for which you get four hours. Shorter options would be preferable! Despite that, it's worth a visit and a stroll around.

Genuinely did enjoy our visit here. Went for a picnic and to see the highland coos. As it was an extremely sunny day, didn’t get to see many of the cows, but definitely had a good walk and lovely picnic. The only major drawback I felt was that in the entire property there were 2 washrooms and they both shut earlier than when the park shuts. That created a little bit of an inconvenience for us.

Very beautiful place to visit, I've been twice now, once to see the highland coos and art gallery and once to wander around the house. The library is a stunning room, of you love books we paid once there and had no trouble doing so, they also have a over 60's price.

Really well manicured gardens with lots of accessible paths for cyclists and pedestrians. Unfortunately the main house was closed, but we got to walk around and it was scenic and beautiful. The paid parking for both this and the Burrows collection forces you to pay £5 for 4 hours, there's no lesser denomination. Highly recommend visiting.
