Day 6 in Dumfries & Galloway 🏴 for Team Yoga Cheadle (back home tomorrow)
One of things that is synonymous with Scotland is the Highland ‘Coo’ & today I visited Kitchen Coos & Ewes to see these absolutely beautiful animals.
I went on a 90 minute safari style tour of the farm (that is not involved in the meat or dairy industry but for breeding & preservation) the love, care & knowledge that the farm workers have is incredible.
We could also interact with the animals (strictly on their terms if they wanted to come up to the safety barrier for a stroke or a good chin scratch) & your given lots of time to take photographs & videos
Afterwards we were given tea, coffee, bake & biscuits (I did say I was vegan & wasn’t expecting to be catered for as it’s a remote Scottish farm) however they homemade everything vegan for me (& it tasted absolutely amazing)
All for £42 unreal value for money & the highlight of my entire visit!
If your ever in Dumfries & Galloway ITS A MUST! a truly great experience
Meanwhile Jasper enjoyed more woodland adventures back at the lodge (& the owner Kathryn kindly gave him a walk while I was out)

Day 5 in Dumfries & Galloway 🏴 for Team Yoga Cheadle
Today I decided to visit (for the third time) Bainloch Deer Park (around 18 miles away from my lodge)
Set upon 800 acres of land & home to around 700 deer in total. This place is just absolutely amazing & they do incredible work to save deer from meat farms & also help stray & injured deers.
The way that these animals form communities is really fascinating & so intelligent! I went on a 1 hour guided safari style tour in a jeep which allows you to get really close to the deer & they get well fed with potatoes & parsnips 😀
The guide was excellent really enthusiastic & friendly (I wish I could remember all the amazing facts about these beautiful animals).
They also have a nice little cafe so ordered a tasty spicy bean burger with fries 👍
Cannot recommend visiting this place highly enough it’s a fantastic experience for all ages (especially for young families)
Meanwhile Jasper has enjoyed further walks & treats back in the woodland lodges 😀

Day 4 in Dumfries & Galloway 🏴 for team Yoga Cheadle
Today I took my first trip to the town of Gatehouse of Fleet (which was originally planned out purely for the Cotton Industry).
Only 13 miles from my lodge in Castle Douglas & well worth the drive down.
Similar to Kirkcudbright in that it has lots of small independent cafes & crafts stores alongside a Mill Exhibition (which is free of charge) & you take a walk into the Cally Forest (which then leads you into the main Galloway Forest)
Took a lovely lunch break at ‘The Angel Cafe House’ with an Oat Milk Chai Latte & a Falafel Hummus Sourdough Bread Sandwich (which was delicious & filled me up for nearly the whole day!)
Jasper was chilling back in the lodge & enjoyed his special holiday treat of a Lillys Kitchen ‘Sunday Lunch’ wet meal (& if you own a dog you will know how expensive this stuff is 😝 but he loved it!)

Day 3 in Dumfries & Galloway 🏴 for team Yoga Cheadle
Today I decided to visit the ‘Artists Town’ of Kirkcudbright (which i last went to in 2024)
It’s a lovely town with lots of independent craft stalls, harbour, castle (which just outside has a memorial to those lost during the first & second world wars) & cafes (decided to treat myself to a nice vegan ciabatta & chai latte from the Portobello)
Only 9 miles away from my lodge definitely well worth a visit if your staying in the Castle Douglas area of Dumfries & Galloway
Jasper enjoyed his morning & afternoon walks in the Woodlands & is now fast asleep 😊

We are spending the week at Balmaghie Dog Friendly Lodges aka ‘The Naughty Dog Lodge’ 😆 in Dumfries & Galloway
This is our 8th visit & Jasper absolutely LOVES IT! he gets to wonder around offlead in the secure woodlands (18 acres)
Looking forward to enjoying a peaceful & chilled week 😊
