Palacerigg Country Park

Established in the early 1970s, Palacerigg Country Park has been developed around the objectives of conservation, environmental education and countryside recreation.

Palacerigg's animal collection is unique in Central Scotland and provides an opportunity to see many rare breeds in addition to other friendly farm animals. Rare breeds include North Ronaldsay and Boreray sheep, Bagot goats, Tamworth pigs and Scots grey and Scots dumpy poultry.

The tours will include a rare chance to see how we heat the Longhouses with fuel from the park and to visit our animal sick bay, talk on small animals and see how we look after our rare breeds livestock at Palacerigg. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Tours on the hour.
