We are asking for support in covering startup and ongoing costs for our new Scottish Demonstration Farm.

A demonstration farm in Scotland has been a GWCT objective for 10 years. Demonstration is at the heart of the GWCT’s Allerton Project at Loddington in Leicestershire and over 20 years this has become a showpiece for our farmland research.

With a flock of 1,400 ewes to look after we need to raise £5,000 to cover the cost of providing tick treatment for 12 months.

About the farm

Auchnerran Farm occupies 1,030 acres (417 ha) of hill-edge land near Logie Coldstone on Deeside in Aberdeenshire and is located on the edge of a bowl-shaped geographical feature known as the Howe of Cromar.
