The Glen Farm, one of Scotland's most renowned hill sheep farms, is situated near to Gatehouse of Fleet in Galloway, a UNESCO designated 'Biosphere' in South West Scotland.

Covering nearly 3,000 acres the farm concentrates primarily on producing its pedigree Blackface sheep and Belted Galloways but now as it looks to safeguard its future, is slowing diversifying itself to optimize its true potential while importantly maintaining its beauty and longevity for future generations.

The Farm led by its Head Shepherd David Leslie presently runs 1000 breeding Blackface ewes which will be increased further, and it has an established Belted Galloway herd which is also being increased to meet growing demand. Other projects include Galloway Alpacas, our bothy project which is in early planning stages and various tree and renewable projects.

The Glen Farm as we know it today has existed since 1855 when it was owned by the McCullough family who made their fortunes in the merchant trade in Shanghai. It briefly changed hands in the 20th Century before its present owners the Bond Family purchased the farm in 1973. It is greatly enjoyed by three generations of the family and is now managed by Christopher who is passionate about its lands, environment and community..
