We recognise that people live busy lives and look for choice and convenience on their holiday, so we have made our bookings fully flexible on start day with a 3 night minimum stay during most of the year and 4 night minimum stay during our short peak season. We provide a discount on all full-week bookings.
We have an abundance of wildlife on our farm - roe deer, hares, stoats and a multitude of birds are regularly seen. Guided walks of the area on request from Marian who is a biologist and is walk-leader and first-aid trained. The Cateran Trail long distance path passes 100m from the farmhouse and can take you up Alyth Hill and beyond.
Hebridean lamb is rising in popularity as a healthy, flavoursome alternative to commercially grown lamb. The lambs are slow maturing and slaughtered at 18 months (technically speaking hoggit at this age) resulting in meat with a distinctive "gamey" flavour that is lean and low in cholesterol. Our lambs are born in mid-April, raised on mature pasture and slaughtered in late August of the following year.
Here at Kirklandbank we run an artisan distillery, Highland Boundary. Highland Boundary is the only distillery in the UK focused on botanical spirits. We use sustainably hand-picked local Scottish plants to create unique spirits and liqueurs that showcase the wild flavours of Scotland. Guests at the farmhouse are welcome to join a distillery tour to see and hear how we make our Wild Scottish Spirits.

Stayed at Kirklandbank Farm as working in the area and I must say what a beautiful area it is.
The farm house is very clean, comfortable and was a pleasant place to come back to and relax after a long day!
The furnishing are of a high quality and everything you might need you'll find. Beds were comfortable.
The host was great came over the adjust heating times as we were leaving at irregular times, very helpful.
This would a great place for a familys to stay as there is plenty of space and things to do.

Nicely renovated, with good facilities and a FABULOUS location. The only downside is a mile-long, steeply up-hill rutted track to access from Alyth. You will need a car with decent ground clearance to be able to get to the house, but it's very much worth it when you do, with views stretching several miles over 180 degrees. The location is a good base for walking, and the local habitat is home to beavers and red squirrel, with Dundee, Perth and Pitlochry all within easy reach by car.
The owners are VERY nice people who live in the farmhouse just the other side of a couple of barns, and are more
