What to expect from Coos & Views

Meet the Highland coos

Venture out into the fields to meet our Highland cows and their calves. You’ll get wonderfully close, learn about their individual personalities, and discover how we care for our fold throughout the year. There’s often a sense of excitement as the cattle move across the fields, adding energy and character to the experience, always under calm supervision.

Guests regularly comment on how relaxed and gentle the animals are, with plenty of opportunities to observe them up close and, where appropriate, enjoy a gentle stroke.

Caring for land and nature

As part of the experience, we share how we look after the land using traditional farming techniques alongside rewilding and nature-led projects. You’ll learn how farming, wildlife and landscape can work together to support biodiversity and long-term land health, and why this approach matters for the future of this special place.

Off-road exploring

Travel comfortably across the farm in our Kawasaki buggy or the Nether Glenny trailer for larger groups. No high level of fitness is required, making Coos & Views accessible to most visitors while allowing you to reach parts of the farm you wouldn’t otherwise see.

Views worth slowing down for

Coos & Views takes you into quieter corners of the farm, opening up wide views across the Lake of Menteith and the surrounding hills. There’s time to pause, take photographs and enjoy the scenery, with the Highland cattle very much centre stage.

Farm treats and a warm welcome

After time out on the farm, you’ll enjoy coffee, tea and home baking in The Pantry with us. This is a chance to relax, warm up and continue conversations around the table. While you’re there, you can browse a small selection of homemade produce, Highland-inspired gifts and thoughtfully designed Nether Glenny items.

Meet your hosts

Your hosts throughout Coos & Views are Matt and Alison Woods, owners of Nether Glenny Farm. We love sharing our farm, our animals and our story, and Coos & Views reflects the way we live and work here every day.
