Family run farm, arable with a few sheep and cattle to keep as occupied when the contracting side isn’t. Lovely holiday cottage too, come visit us.

Harvest 2024 started

[Fraser Bain @Fraser_Bain]

Sadly had someone in over the weekend who has kindly ripped out our Greenstar equipment and made off with a good £20k+. Cut the cables and drilled out the door handles too. Very targeted, be aware in the Lothians

Right ladies and gentlemen, wee reminder that no matter how often you have done something before or how well you think you know your livestock, there will always be one that self selects for the next world by trying to kill you. Look after yourselves out there #murderingcoo

@CasMillar Hmm, heard that interview too and thought the same, but food comes from supermarkets doesn’t it so what’s the problem🤔

Very lucky escape from the remanents of someone’s campfire last night. Thank you to all neighbours who helped out

[Upper Bolton Farm @theArches1]

@jsclark476 A big thank you

[Upper Bolton Farm @theArches1]

People! So nearly could have worse. That’s a field of ready to combine winter barley in the background.
Many thanks go to Fire brigade and Will Callander.
There was remnants of a campfire, dry conditions and a breeze, perfect for bigger fire!

[Upper Bolton Farm @theArches1]

Combines are go!

Harvest staff required for large arable unit in East Lothian. July-Oct good rates of pay and accommodation can be provided. Experience essential.

Regardless of the fact that it's our barley being collected here, this is just mesmerising footage... beautifully captured by @DigitalTriangle with our friends at @theArches1

@leithdistillery Sunny days, happy farmers. Go team Upper Bolton🌞

[The Port of Leith Distillery @leithdistillery]

Here it is - our first harvest of malting barley at @theArches1 just outside Edinburgh. Perfect weather for it and farmers James and Andrew are very pleased with the quality of this year’s crop. Can’t wait to turn it into whisky…

@Catch_horse Happy Farmer , if there is such a thing at this time of year🤔

[Catriona J Bancroft @Catch_horse]

Ok other people chase ambulances, I prefer combines. All go on Friday in the bowl of the Lothians.
