About Us
Welcome To Fearn Farm
The Scott Family have farmed at Fearn on the Easter-Ross Peninsula for five generations; each have added their mark to what is now a diverse modern farming business with high quality livestock at its core.
We enjoy what we do and relish the challenge of working with nature, the elements and our land to deliver high quality produce to a wide variety of marketplaces.
With soils ranging from light sand through to heavy clay our home farm is well suited to growing high quality cereal crops such as oats and barley and a variety of forage crops which allow us to outwinter most of our livestock.
In the mid 1990’s pedigree livestock were introduced and over time have become a prominent feature with the family selling various breeds of cattle and sheep for breeding both privately and online via Yourbid at the farm’s annual ‘Great from Grass’ annual sale.
Over the years the scale of our farming operation has grown a little and now comprises six different holdings in Easter-Ross and Sutherland under owned, leased and contract farming agreements.
With a full time, team of five plus family partners working daily in the operation we take pride in creating opportunities for the next generation and often have placement students and apprentices in our team.
In 2020 the family opened ‘The Mill at Fearn Farm’ 4-star luxury accommodation which sleeps up to 14 in adjacent buildings, farm tours are also available for those who would like to find out more about the farm.
Summer 2026 will see us open ‘Shore’ our newly refurbished hotel on the harbour in the nearby seaside village of Balintore where we will serve our own meat from the farm along with fresh fish from the sea.

Breeding Excellence In Every Generation
Having moved to the Highlands from the Scottish Borders as shepherds the Scott’s have a history of sheep farming that spans multiple generations. They worked their way up the farming ladder obtaining farm tenancies before eventually being able to buy their own farm. For five generations they have been based at Fearn where sheep are still at the heart of what they do both in their own farming operation and in those they look after for others.

Where Adventure Meets Agriculture
Over the years we have at times dipped our toe in the Agri-Tourisim world initially selling lamb direct to the public and latterly with beef and lamb boxes to discerning customers.
Having thought about for some time in 2020 we opened our first self catering holiday accomodation, transforming a redundant water mill into a modern spacious cottage and house which sleeps four and ten respectively or 14 when combined as one.
We enjoy having people coming to visit us on the farm and telling our story is now part of what we do on a daily basis.
Our next step has been the purchase of a nearby hotel which once fully refurbished will trade as Shore in the nearby seaboard villages.
