We are launching the Loch Shin Pods Crofting Experience from this April and we cannot wait to get going.

Since buying this beautiful piece of land in September 2019, we have been adding to the animals we look after here, alongside our four glamping pods.

That list now includes: chickens, Highland cows, alpaca, red deer and sheep.

We have always encouraged visitors, especially ones with children, to come and visit the animals and that has always proved very popular with the little ones.

Crofting experience

So, we have decided to make a thing of it and provide an adventure we hope our visitors will never forget.

We are not putting a price on it. If you enjoy your Crofting Experience, you are welcome to make a small donation that will go towards the cost of the animal food. At the end, you are welcome to collect some eggs (hopefully) from the chickens and if you don’t fancy making your own breakfast, you can treat yourself to a delicious bacon roll and freshly ground coffee from our new food hut, the Antler.

An small Highland croft allows you to get up close and personal with some of the region's most beloved creatures.

You will have a hands-on opportunity to learn about the daily routines and care of farm animals. If the time is right, you can feed them as well as learning about their individual personalities.

Rural Scotland

The Crofting Experience also provides an opportunity to learn more about a traditional way of life in rural Scotland. Crofting has a rich history in this part of the world and has been practised for centuries against a backdrop of stunning scenery.

The Loch Shin Glamping Pods certainly provide that.

If you are an animal lover, a history buff, or you are simply looking for a unique experience in the Scottish Highlands, our crofting adventure is not to be missed.

The Loch Shin Pods Crofting Experience is for guests only. If you are on your way to see us this spring or summer from early April and would like to get involved, please let us know.
