On Your Farm

Available for over a year

In Scotland, most farming operations are either in the productive lowlands or on the tougher, poorer upland areas. The Duncan family, led by Shona and Bruce, straddle the divide between the Highlands and Lowlands with a traditional sheep and beef operation on the rolling fields of Stirlingshire, and a large farm estate in the rugged hills on the north-west side of Loch Lomond, which includes two mountains over 3000 feet. They make the most of the variety, but both areas are loved by hikers - and that’s not always to the family’s advantage. Produced and presented by Richard Baynes
