As we live on site you will definately bump into one of our small beasties at some point..we are very dog friendly but if you bring your own dogs please be aware that ours are on home territory, please keep yours on a lead! If you want to park your car in the shade for your dogs comfort just ask, we know where we can do this!! Also please do not throw sticks for our dogs we dont want splinters in mouths and broken teeth, thank you in advance!

our PR Manager on the ground and greets everyone with a wag and request for a hug.... and has a star place on the Migration DVD out-takes!!

Ziggy is Benny's son, born in August 2007 he is here on the left of the photo with his proud Dad and his brother Bob who's now living on Raasay! Benny was born on Raasay, a small Island off Skye where we used to live, so his genes have returned! Bob will be a working sheepdog. Ziggy however is practicing to take over from his dad as PR Manager ie look gorgeous, wag your tail alot and generally go on rides and keep an eye on us humans. So far he's coping with the rigours of the job!!

Kaz (picture on the right) is a small black and white cat with attitude far larger than his size...he can be very affectionate but like all cats has far too much arrogance so the cuddles are very much when he wants...we love him for it! do check your cars folks when leaving as he is very inquisitive and has been known to stow away and fall asleep in the window in the sun.

Bracken (to the left; otherwise known as Bracky-Woo!!) is Alan's dog she's a very cute little girlie and very affectionate...when young she and Ziggy looked so alike, but he's filled out she has stayed petite! She and Ziggy play all day (again please no sticks!!!) the two of them have a great time just being young!

Ziggy, Benny & Kaz: It’s a rough life, isn’t it?
