Glenfernate, Gleann Fearnach, situated deep in the Scottish Highlands, is the home of the Glenfernate Estate, Glenfernate Farm and the animals we bring to you.

 

We are in the Grampians - the heart of the Scottish Highlands. Covering an area of 17,000 acres, our land includes Beinn a'Ghlo, a Scottish "Munro" of 3,671 feet.

 

Glenfernate's "low" ground consists of rough permanent pasture, rising to heather moorland drained by the Fernate burn, a tributary of Scotland's largest river, the Tay.
