Highland Cow Experience
We are delighted to invite you to our Highland Cow Experience, where you will get to meet our beautiful gang and learn more about their role in our rewilding project here at Kinkell!
Our experience is suitable for all ages, so bring your family and friends.
Meet our Highland Cows, £25 per person, kids under 18 go FREE. All proceeds go to our rewilding charity, Rewilding Kinkell, to support our work to increase biodiversity in Scotland. The tour is a short walk from our gravel car park.
Some of our cows are pettable with special brushes that we provide, but this is dependent on their mood on the day! We do not take visitors into the cow field for safety reasons, but you will get very close to the cows at the fenceline.
Please note that the experience will only be available on days when there are no weddings taking place
To make a booking and for more information please contact heather@kinkell.com. Please try to book a few days in advance. Bookings are non-refundable. The experience takes 30-45 minutes.
Handwashing facilities are provided at the end of your Highland Cow Experience.
We look forward to meeting you!
We also offer private experiences at suitable times starting from £195.
You can also support our rewilding charity by donating to our crowdfunding campaign.
Bookings are non-refundable.
DATES AVAILABLE
Lying and rolling helps increase structural diversity, which can be important for ground-nesting birds. Trampling creates areas of bare ground, producing nurseries for seedlings, and dung generates an ecosystem in its own right.
Bee Keeping Day
We are thrilled to launch our Beekeeping Experience Days in collaboration with the Tartan Apiary who have set up hives at Kinkell.
Tartan Apiary Beekeepers are buzzing with knowledge when it comes to these amazing colonies of creatures, their fascinating behaviour and the environment.
The Kinkell Beekeeping Experience takes around one or two hours, depending on group size. It involves:
The cost of the Experience Day is £75 per person with a maximum of 8 people. Bespoke days and individual tuition in beekeeping are also options.
The fee includes a donation to our charity, Rewilding Kinkell.
Bill at Tartan Apiary is free most afternoons for the bee season which runs from May to August, depending on temperatures.
Please email Bill at tartanapiary@proton.me to book.
We hope to be selling some Kinkell Rewilded Honey by Tartan Apiary soon!

Anniversary Tree Planting
Plant a tree at Kinkell to commemorate a special occasion or wedding anniversary.
Help support our efforts to rewild Kinkell and increase Scottish biodiversity.
Come to Kinkell and, with the help of our rewilding officer, Jenny, plant a native tree in our very special location.
There is a fee for tree planting of £150 plus the cost of the tree itself. All proceeds go to our rewilding charity, Rewilding Kinkell, to support our work to increase biodiversity in Scotland.
If you want to bring your own tree, we would require that it is a native tree to adhere with our rewilding principles. We would recommend planting Oak, Rowan, Silver Birch or Hawthorn trees. We can also supply the tree ourselves and can add the cost to the fee. We already have stakes and guards onsite for protecting the tree.
Please contact jenny@kinkell.com for further information and to make all the arrangements.
