Welcome to Balmangan Farm, a 330-acre family run farm on the Solway coast, in the Borgue community and just outside the harbour town of Kirkcudbright.
Balmangan is a working farm shaped by nature and located in the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire UNESCO Biosphere. We graze Highland and Belted Galloway cattle and Tamworth pigs and are progressing toward organic certification. Rewilding, biodiversity restoration, improving habitats and encouraging wildlife to flourish across the farm’s fields, hedgerows and woodlands.
Balmangan Farm is a Northwoods Rewilding Network partner. We are a Scotland-wide chain of landholdings committed to nature recovery and sharing the vision for an ecologically restored landscape, where habitats are better connected and species can recover, expand and disperse.
Balmangan Farm is also collaborating with the Butterfly Conservation Society Borderland Project to maintain and enhance habitat on our farmland for rare butterflies and other wildlife to thrive.
Balmangan Farm and Scottish Agritourism
Our journey into agritourism began in 2007 with the creation of our small campsite, Solway View Holidays. Plus, 2026 will see Balmangan Beag cottage open, sleeping seven and it is a great house to spend quality time with family and friends here on the farm.
Welcoming guests has inspired us to share more of farm life, with signposted farm walks, tractor-trailer tours, and a frisbee/disc golf course, children’s play area, and easy access to the Solway coast and ancient woodland. Visitors can enjoy the landscape, learn about farming, and see firsthand how we work alongside nature.
