A family run farm in the heart of Scotland

Welcome to Earnieside Farm, from the Guild Family

Our story began back in 2008 when our family moved from Surrey to a farmhouse in Dunning Glen. We were keen to use the land productively and maintain the history of a working farm. Together we poured our hearts into building a home and working sheep farm

Shortly after, in September 2012, we welcomed some new arrivals to the farmhouse. After visiting the Rare Breeds Sale in Stirling, we fell in love with three beautiful, black Hebridean sheep. Native to the diverse climates of Scotland and widely recognised for their robust nature, Hebrideans are highly sought after for their durable coats and flavourful meat.

Now over 130 ewes and rams have made Earnieside Farmhouse their home in the eastern foothills of the Ochils.

A family run business

As you can imagine, life on a working farm never stops and we’re always in need of a few helping hands (and paws)! We’ve got some very special furry helpers who keep the farm running smoothly

Together, these furry friends make life on the farm a whole lot more fun. Come by and say hello – they’re always ready to meet new friends!

  • Archie, the Cocker Spaniel

    Archie has been our seasoned farmhand for more than 10 years and is always ready to lend a paw. Whether it’s herding sheep or taste testing our sausages, he has a nose for adventure and an endless supply of tail wags.

  • Rocky

    Rocky isn’t your average sheep – he’s the farm’s unofficial mascot and a bit of a local celebrity. With his snowy coat and a personality to match, he’s often found leading the flock or stealing snacks

  • Chief Mice Catchers

    No farm is complete without a few cats, and ours are top-notch mousers. They patrol the barns with pride, keeping the place rodent-free. When they’re not on duty, you’ll find them sunbathing or supervising from the hay bales.

  • The Hens

    Our chickens are the feathered stars of the farm, clucking away as they go about their important business – providing us with fresh, delicious eggs every day. These hens are free to roam

Raised with Love

Since the very beginning, we have been committed to maintaining the highest quality of care for our herd, who have become family to us. Each Hebridean is treated with the compassion and love they deserve, reflected in awards they have won at the Royal Highland Show.
