There are so many great things to do for families close to us. We headed over to Dalkeith Country Park on Saturday to check out the newly renovated cafe & to go for a dog walk. It didn’t disappoint. The new interior in the cafe & Restoration Yard are beautiful and the food was delicious. Check out the Croque Monsieur and the rocky road! Both come highly recommended. A wander round the shop was joyful as always. For the kids, the jellycat selection, Fort Douglas Play Park and Go Ape Dalkeith, Edinburgh are always a huge hit.

Next week is an exciting week in the Scottish Events calendar. The Royal Highland Show is on at Ingliston just outside Edinburgh from Thursday 18th to Sunday 21st June 2026. It’s a firm favourite with our family and showcases the best in Scottish food, drink, livestock, showjumping & crafts. There is something for everyone. It’s an event we look forward to every year and one you don’t want to miss.

If you are looking for beautiful rural accommodation nearby we have availability in a couple of our shepherd huts.

On Sunday after changeovers we did something a bit different. We went to the Open Farm Event at Walston Breahead Farm, the home of and had a very interesting visit. We got to meet their herd of 400 dairy Lacaune sheep, their herd of dairy goats which is made up of Saanen, Toggenberg and British Alpine goats and saw the sheep being milked to produce the following day’s cheese.

Errington run a range of different tours - a cheese tour alongside lambing & kidding tours. The next kidding tours will be in July so check out their website for more details. For our next visit we are planning the cheese tour as their cheeses are a firm favourite with Simon.

We ended our trip with a visit to to buy some cheese & tasty cakes made by Andrew’s Mum.

Thanks to the Errington Team for making us very welcome.

They are beautifully made and reflect the love & care that Elenya & Rheece put into their work. You can never beat a hand crafted product.
