SITUATIONKillean and Dalmore Farms are situated on the west of the Kintyre peninsula amidst magnificent coastal scenery. The Kintyre Peninsula is a peaceful yet easily accessible location on the west coast of Scotland. Joined to mainland Scotland by a narrow strip of land at Tarbert, to the north, it has all the characteristics of island living but the benefits of not being reliant on a sea link. The peninsula is about 40 miles long and benefits from the favourable Gulf Stream climate; the area is noted for its mild weather and long growing season.

The farms lie either side of the village of Tayinloan which includes a village shop and petrol station. Tayinloan is also where the ferry docks for the Isle of Gigha and the towns of Campbeltown and Tarbert are both approximately 19 miles away and offer a wider range of facilities. Glasgow can be reached in just over two hours by road (116 miles). There are regular scheduled flights between Glasgow International and Campbeltown airports (16 miles), the latter having one of the longest runways in the UK which can land almost any type of private aircraft.

Kintyre has an abundance of leisure pursuits available. There is a very good marina at Tarbert with sheltered sailing on Loch Fyne and access from Ardrishaig through the Crinan Canal to some of the most beautiful sailing in the world around the Western Isles. There are many opportunities for inland loch and sea fishing and there is a championship links golf course at Machrihanish. The presence of palm trees and other temperate plant life is attributed to the mild climate created by the Gulf Stream which affects much of Scotland’s west coast and serves to enhance the opportunities to enjoy these many outdoor pursuits.

DescriptionKillean and Dalmore Farms are presently run as part of a larger in-hand farming operation on the Killean Estate. The farms are being offered to the market as two lots separately from the wider estate, as described below. Killean Farm is equipped with a relatively new range of modern buildings and there is a secondary range of buildings and a farmhouse at Dalmore.

In total the two farms extend to around 445 acres including 121 acres of silage ground, 208 acres of permanent pasture and a further 45 acres of rough grazing; the remainder is mainly beaches, buildings and woodland. Stocking is based around a commercial beef herd and a small herd of pure bred Highland cattle. There is also a flock of breeding ewes which is divided between an in-bye flock of mainly Texel and Cheviots.

Killean Farm

The building of the new shed at Killean Farm has allowed for a more intensive and profitable farming operation. With the exception of the Highland cattle, which under the current regime out-winter on the neighbouring hill, all young stock and most of the cows in the main herd are in-wintered on straw bedded courts and fed with silage produced from 110 acres of in-bye grassland here and at Dalmore. The low ground flock are all lambed inside and the hill sheep are lambed in the sheltered fields.

The land is generally classified as Grade 4(1) but it has been improved substantially in recent years with a rolling programme of re-seeding and liming, along with applications of seaweed and dung as well as commercial fertilisers, in accordance with soil test recommendations. Typically two cuts of silage are taken off the farm and some of the fields are capable of three cuts, all of which are baled and stored on the farm.

A grassland management programme has been in place for the past seven years based on re-seeding 20 to 25 acres with new grass and clover annually. Generally, this is sown under a crop of oats which is cut in the first year for arable silage.

Great emphasis has been put on the amenity and environmental appeal of the estate by the present owners who have entered into a number of farm management and stewardship schemes. Both farms lie entirely within a Less Favoured Area and attract the requisite grant subsidies. More details about schemes and subsidies are available from the selling agents.
