Heard about Bobcat Alpacas from the the great support Bob, Cath & their family of lovely Alpacas give to Marie Curie cancer care Edinburgh. Our visit to the farm was on a cold but sunny Friday afternoon in January. On arrival we were warmly welcomed by Bob & introduced to the Male Alpacas who we would be walking with, Bob introduced our Alpaca friends for the day by name telling us all about their personality & how each furry friend is very different! We partnered for our afternoon stroll with Milo who like all the alpacas is awesome & Bob shares his vast alpaca knowledge in a warm & funny way as we wander in the Pentland hills .I would highly recommend a visit to the farm, it offers a great non commercial afternoon out with lovely Alpacas that benefit from exceptional care & husbandry from Bob & Cath.

Come here often to walk/run. Very peaceful paths beside the river with chance of seeing wildlife in amongst the trees. Popular with dog walkers, families and those exercising. Can get muddy after rainfall but mostly okay if you stick to the main path. Close by to Blackford Hill, Blackford Pond and also Braid Hills. A lovely green space in the midst of the city.

Just lovely. Not big worth visiting if your passing. Perfect for under 5s but my 9 year old liked it too. Can get close to the animals for a good look. No covid dramas for folks. Lovely morning.
