When we first saw photographs of alpacas we were captivated by their beautiful heads with large expressive eyes and elegant necks. The bonus being that they have the most superb fleece that can match the finest Cashmere.

We moved to Ballochruin Farm close to the Campsie Fells in 2003 and bought our first alpacas early the following year. We had come from a fairly hectic city life to the tranquillity of this beautiful area close to Loch Lomond and the addition of these peaceful animals has added to this wonderful setting.

Our aim is to breed ‘fine’ animals that will produce that best fleeces of all variety of natural colours.  We are building the size of our herd and later this year we are very excited by our importation from Canada. Amongst other exceptional alpacas we are bringing in are 2 stud males Silver Cloud Lakota  and Charbonnel Ronnie whose sires are the famous Jolimont Peruvian Alpamayo and Jolimont Peruvian Pedro.

We are happy to offer help and advice on any aspect of alpaca care. Our studs will be available in 2006 and if you have a passion for these lovely animals and don’t have the land we can offer a feed, care and shear service.

Visitors are also welcome but please phone or E mail to make an appointment.
