Variety is the spice of life!

We often get asked by visitors what we do when we’re not up leading the Hill Trips. Being a Scottish reindeer herder is a really varied job, and in the past year as we’ve moved into our new building it has been even more so! Here are a few photos from the past few months:

What people think we spend all our time doing – a snowy day moving the free-range herd across the mountains with Cam
How does it look?? Trying out different positions for the antler decor in our new shop
Building new welly racks! Testing my DIY skills (or lack of) to the limit…
Team effort unloading several trailers of wood chip into the new Paddock area.
Hanging out with Winnie.
A day refreshing our first aid skills, though we hope to avoid using them!
Another snowy morning moving the herd into position for the Hill Trip
Helping with landscaping in the Paddock area.
Tree planting alongside our new exhibition area.
Coffee “supervising” whilst I poop-scoop!
Finding a very old bit of cast antler on the mountain,
Building many racks for storing all of our things!
Appreciating Sundae’s beautiful nose!

  1. This is so cool! I had no idea that so much went into caring for reindeer! I’m so jealous of the antler sheds you must find that you can use in your decorating. I’m going to need to go through your older posts because of how interesting this is. Thanks so much for sharing!
