SituationWester Olrig Farm is situated approximately eight miles to the east of the town of Thurso in the heart of the most northerly county of mainland UK, Caithness. It is situated in an area of Caithness which is well known as a productive farming district on account of the quality of soils, favourable climate, relatively low rainfall, and moderately level ground.

The village of Castletown is just over two miles distant and has a shop, primary school, and hotel. The closest town of Thurso has a population of around 9,000, and provides a good range of retail, commercial and education facilities. Its railway station offers daily services to Inverness. The Port of Scrabster at Thurso Bay is a gateway to the north, with daily ferry services to Orkney and is a port of call for visiting cruise ships.

Fourteen miles to the east is the most principal town in the north of Scotland’s mainland, Wick. The town also benefits from good transport links, with a railway station offering services south and Wick Airport delivering domestic flights and accommodating private jet aircraft.

The well-established agricultural area has a good range of suppliers and contractors. The Caithness Machinery Ring is situated at Killimster (9 miles). There is a local livestock market at Quoybrae which has regular sales throughout the year and there are also weekly sales in Dingwall and Thainstone, Inverurie.

In contrast to the mountainous county of Sutherland to the west, Caithness is a land of open, rolling farmland, moorland and scattered settlements. The area is fringed to the north and east by dramatic coastal scenery and is home to large, internationally important colonies of seabirds. The surrounding waters of the Pentland Firth and the North Sea hold a great diversity of marine life.

Amongst salmon and trout fishermen, Caithness is held in very high regard. The River Thurso, which runs for 20 miles from Loch More in the heart of the county to the sea at Thurso, is one of the most prolific salmon rivers in Britain. Rods can be rented on either a daily or weekly basis. Flowing southeast for several miles from Loch Watten to the sea, the River Wick is also a well-regarded salmon river with rods available on a daily basis throughout the season.

There are a further seven salmon rivers lying to the south and west of Wester Olrig and within a one hour drive, including famous rivers such as the Helmsdale, Halladale and Naver.

For the trout angler, there are numerous lochs in close vicinity of the farm, including Loch Watten which has a reputation as one of Scotland’s best wild brown trout fisheries.

Sea angling off the Caithness coast is well renowned. Bait and lure fishing for cod, halibut, ling, wrasse, mackerel and even fly fishing for pollock can make for some fantastic sport.

Caithness is well known for its royal connection with the Castle of Mey, one of the former homes of the late Queen Mother, now owned by her grandson, Prince Charles. It is situated 9 miles north of Wester Olrig. Prince Charles (known in Scotland as the Duke of Rothesay) enjoys an annual holiday at the castle, which is open to visitors, together with its fabulous garden, from May through to September.

Golf is a feature of the area with 18-hole links courses locally at Wick and Reay, an 18-hole parkland course at Thurso and a 9-hole course at Lybster, south of Wick. In addition, the internationally regarded Championship Course at Royal Dornoch is within a one hours drive.

For surfing enthusiasts, the north coast is well recognised amongst Europe’s premier heavy water destinations. Good solid ground swells and southerly winds combine to create ideal surf conditions, which have attracted the attention of some of the world’s top surfers.

The farm is located close to several stunning beaches with Dunnet Beach accessible by car in under ten minutes.

DescriptionWester Olrig is a superb, highly productive mixed arable and stock farm extending to approximately 330 acres (134 hectares).

The farm comprises a comfortable single storey farmhouse, 2 semi-detached cottages, an extensive range of modern and traditional farm buildings and renewable energy from a wind turbine, solar panels and air source heat pump for the farmhouse.

The farm benefits from having excellent, free-draining fertile soils and predominantly south facing good sized field compartments. Throughout the vendor’s three generations of ownership, the farm has always been maintained to a high standard including the management of soil organic matter and PH levels, and application of lime where required, so to continue producing high quality crops.

The land is conveniently laid out in one contiguous block with a centrally located steading. It consists of 26 field compartments. The majority of the land is classified 3(2) by the James Hutton institute, and ranges from approximately 25 metres to 60 metres above sea level. The average annual rainfall for the area is recorded as approximately 34 inches.

The land comprises arable/grass leys, ploughable pasture, rough grazings known as the leans area and amenity woodland. It can be summarised as follows:

Type Acres

Arable/grass leys 265

Ploughable pasture 24

Rough grazings 22

Amenity Woodland 8

Exclusions 11

The exclusions listed above are a combination of roads, yards and buildings, grass banks, ditches, hedgerows and a pond.

All the fields on the farm have individual troughs fed from the mains supply and are well fenced suitable for cattle and sheep. Many of the fields have flagstone fencing to provide animal shelter and maintained hedgerows to support natural habitats.

Farming SystemWester Olrig is farmed in-hand and is registered with SGRPID, with a farm code of 281/0084. In the past the farm has operated as a successful mixed livestock and arable enterprise, supporting over 200 head of cattle with an excellent range of farm buildings providing winter accommodation for livestock and adequate storage for grain and machinery. The farm includes a large 800-tonne silage pit with asphalt floor and underground effluent tank.
