Farm Park etc. With Cows?

Ginger_Poodle

Hello

Can anyone suggest a farm park, visitor centre, etc. in the Central belt with cows??? Apparently Highland cows will not cut it unfortunately...need to be of standard construction! My 4 year old daughter has developed a little obsession, and I can't find anywhere!

Thank you...

Hello Wolfehouse, and thank you. We have been to Pollok Park a few times to see the Highland cows (usually go to the HC show each year). Unfortunately it is dairy type cows she wants to see...

You could try kittochside farm in east kilbride if that's not too far to travel. I've never been myself but my 2 kids have been a few times on school trips and loved it and there are dairy cows.

There's East Links Family Park in Dunbar (not sure if they have 'proper' cows though!) http://www.eastlinks.co.uk/home.php

There's also Five Sisters Zoo in West Calder - definitely no cows but may be one to keep up your sleeve for another day - http://www.fivesisterszoo.co.uk/
