Cairns Farm has been in the Hamilton Family for four generations. What started as a hill sheep farm, home to Scottish Blackface ewes has evolved over the decades welcoming Highland cattle, rescue hens and even alpacas. Now owned and farmed by Graham and Caroline, Cairns Farm has seen lots of changes over the years. Planning a gathering with loved ones, a romantic getaway, or a retreat for friends and colleagues? You’ll find all the comfort and space you need right here on the farm. Whether you’re looking for quiet nooks for contemplation or lively spaces for fun and laughter, every detail is designed for comfort and connection. Enjoy cosy beds, modern furnishings, heritage-inspired décor, and breathtaking views - the perfect blend of contemporary warmth and timeless charm.

Each of our countryside properties at Cairns Farm are charming with their own unique character, fabulous views, and are located right at the centre of farm life. A home away from home, whatever the occasion of your visit. Our six cabins are nestled between the shores of Harperrig Reservoir and the foot of Pentland Hills. Choose from Carnethy, Loganlea, Caerketton, The Kips (ramp access and wet room), Hare Hill or Scald Law. Each one is different, but all provide supremely comfortable accommodation.

The Cabins, Cairns Farm are located at the foot of the Pentland Hills Regional Park, nestled by Harperrig Reservoir. The views across the Pentlands are quite beautiful, stretching across the hills and reservoir to Edinburgh in the distance. The historic Cairns Castle ruin also sits to the water. Set amidst dramatic hills and moorland, Cairns Farm is rural but certainly not remote - located only 20 minutes west of Edinburgh, and within easy travel time of Glasgow and the surrounding counties. Edinburgh Airport is only a 25 minute drive away. The cost for a taxi is usually approximately 30-40 pounds sterling. We are approximately 10minutes from the nearest train station (Kirknewton) and bust stop (Balerno). Your choice – enjoy your time exploring the farm and landscape or head out to the capital city for some sightseeing time. Please note we are not on a bus route, so your own car is necessary.
