Lochhouses farm adjoins the
magnificent sand dunes and beach of the John Muir Country Park. John Muir
was born in neighbouring Dunbar in 1838 and became famous for his love of
wild places and helping to start the National Park scheme in America.
Although mainly an arable
farm growing potatoes (some becoming Highlander crisps), wheat and barley (used
for Dewars whisky), cabbages and turnips (packed for the local supermarkets)
we also have a flock of Jacobs Sheep and fattening cattle on the grassland
slopes near the sea, part of which is also managed as a wetland for wading
birds such as ducks, oyster catchers, swans, geese and moorhens. Wild
birdseed mixtures and grass margins bordering fields throughout the farm
attract a multitude of birds all year round. Lochhouses also supports the
wild grey partridge replenishment scheme, which involves re-creating habitat
(Lochhouses won the Trophy for the best habitat in 2007) and counting the
chicks every year – so that will be one of the activities on your
bird-spotting list!
The Eglinton Arms has a
long-standing tradition in the south side of Glasgow as a quality
establishment. The Hotel has just had a £1.2 million refurbishment of the
entire 18th century property, retaining many of the original external
features of the hotel. This boutique hotel has a modern contemporary theme
retaining a Scottish feel throughout the hotel, with feature fireplaces and
the soft furnishings. Our hotel has a cosy atmosphere that you would expect
in a country style location.
The Eglinton Arms Hotel has
bedrooms to cater for all requirements, whether on business for just a day
or two or even a short break to get away from it all.
