Eaglescairnie Mains offers the best of both worlds - warmth and comfort in rural tranquility with stunning views over rolling wooded farmland combined with easy access (30 minutes) to the city of Edinburgh.

Barbara and Michael Williams welcome guests to their beautifully furnished Georgian farmhouse set in the centre of their 350 acre conservation award-winning farm - you can relax, play tennis or explore the farm.

There is just so much to do locally - attractive East Lothian country towns and coastal villages, ruined castles, numerous golf courses, wild heather-covered hills, empty beaches, the Seabird Centre and Bass Rock gannetry, Concorde at the Museum of Flight, Glenkinche whisky distillery (generous tastings!), Roslyn Chapel and of course Edinburgh itself.

Michael's farming system - 'sympathetic farming' - sets out to unite wildlife and landscape conservation with profitable modern agriculture.

Eaglescairnie Mains ia a valuable resource for local farmers, students, school parties and interested groups to see at first hand the benefits, opportunities and practicalities of integrating farming and conservation on a working family farm.
