About Us
The Scott Family
The Scott family have been at Fearn Farm, a low lying farm situated at the base of the Easter-Ross Peninusla, for five generations, with each generation taking care to improve the farm for the next.
Ranging from light soils through to heavy clay, the farm has always been a mixed farming operation which now specialises in high quality high performance livestock alongside cereals and forage crops.
The farm is run by John and Fiona Scott with their four children, James, Izzy, Lexie and Archie and John’s parents James and Janet, under the ‘J Scott and Partners’ banner.
Recent years have seen the farm increase in size with 466ha owned at Fearn Farm itself and a further 560ha rented or contract farmed locally.
John and Fiona also run Scott Farming Company Ltd which has a herd of Luing cows based in Sutherland.
Cropping consists of malting spring barley, oats, swedes, forage rape, kale and stubble turnips for on-farm consumption.
About Us
The Mill at Fearn Farm
The Mill at Fearn Farm is our on-farm holiday accommodation. We’ve welcomed guests to our wee Highland haven here in Easter Ross since our opening in March 2020. The Mill is in an optimum location for exploring the Scottish Highlands, just 3 miles from the A9 and the North Coast 500 route. Despite its connectivity to the northern part of the country, Fearn is a tranquil spot – providing a perfect break to relax and unwind.
The property consists of two houses with an internal locking double doors – ‘The Mill’ and ‘The Wee End’ – which can be booked separately or in conjunction. This set up gives you the flexibility to be all together and yet have privacy too.
About Us
Agritourism at Fearn Farm
The definition of agritourism varies from country to country. The Scottish definition of agritourism is:
“Tourism or leisure on a working farm, croft or estate which produces food or fleece.”
At Fearn our Agritourism journey started in earnest with The Mill at Fearn Farm, our self catering holiday accommodation which opened in 2020 and has become much busier – seeing guests return year on year.
Our newest project is Shore Hotel in Balintore, a fishing village just a couple of miles from the farm, where you can expect fabulous sea views, great pub grub and 5 beautiful bedrooms.
