Groom. Photograph. Feed. Fall in love with oor hairy coos and curious alpacas.
Meet Our Hairy Coos (and our Loyal Guardians!)
Our Highland Cow & Alpaca Experience is a one-of-a-kind chance to spend quality time with some of the most loved animals on the farm - our stunning iconic Highland cows, known affectionately as “hairy coos,” and our unexpected protectors, the alpacas.
You’ll be welcomed to the farm by your guide (Graeme or Louise), receive a short health and safety briefing, and then head off - normally in our Land Rover Defender - for a short journey through the Angus countryside to meet our beautiful fold of Highland cattle.
This small group experience (maximum 6 people) gives you the chance to brush, groom, and connect with these gentle, shaggy-haired legends, learning about their lives and traditions here at Newton Farm - all while enjoying plenty of photo opportunities!
And Then... the Alpacas!
They may not be native to Scotland, but our friendly alpacas have an important job here on the farm - keeping a watchful eye over our lambs and kids during the spring. After your Highland cow encounter, you’ll get the chance to meet, greet, and hand-feed these curious, teddy-bear-like guardians of the field.
