Nestled in the heart of southern Scotland, this unique experience takes place on a busy working beef and sheep farm located within the stunning 600-acre Kirkwood Estate. Just south of Lockerbie, between Dumfries and Gretna Green, this estate has been farmed by six generations of the Steel family since 1865. Known for their commitment to organic practices and providing their animals with a natural, happy life, this farm offers you the chance to experience real farming in action. Tractors are an essential part of daily life here, and now it’s your turn to take the wheel!

Along the way, you’ll have the chance to try out classic farm tasks like lifting and shifting hay bales, moving animal feed, and even practicing reversing. Opt for the extended session, and you’ll get to hook up a trailer and take it for a spin too! Whether you’re a tractor enthusiast or simply looking for a one-of-a-kind adventure, this is your opportunity to embrace life on the farm. Don’t wait - book today and experience the thrill for yourself!
