The Carmichael Estate

**"At Carmichael Estate, history isn’t just preserved—it’s served on a plate."**

For over 900 years, the Carmichael family has farmed the fertile lands of South Lanarkshire, where the Scottish Borders meet rolling hills and ancient stories. Today, **The Carmichael Estate** stands as Scotland’s oldest farming family business, a living legacy where heritage and craftsmanship converge. Here, the land yields more than crops—it produces **award-winning "single malt" meats**, from rich venison to tender lamb and grass-fed beef, each cut a testament to time-honored care.

Step into the **Carmichael Farm Shop**, and you’ll find more than fresh local produce—you’ll discover a **curated taste of Scotland**. Every shelf reflects the estate’s commitment to quality: seasonal vegetables, artisan preserves, and meats aged to perfection. It’s a place where food isn’t just sold; it’s celebrated.

But the experience doesn’t end at the till. Stay in one of the estate’s **12 luxury self-catering cottages**, where modern comfort meets rustic charm. Wake to the quiet hum of the countryside, explore scenic trails, then return to a kitchen stocked with Carmichael’s finest—because here, even a holiday meal is a connection to the land.

Open year-round, the farm shop invites you to **taste history, not just hear it**. Whether you’re stocking your pantry or seeking a retreat, Carmichael Estate offers something rare: **a slice of Scotland’s soul, served fresh**.
