Established in 1977, the red deer herd is maintained as a visitor attraction.  Guided walks are run throughout the year.

Visitors are welcome to enjoy the views from the raised platform and explore the walkways through the fields.  Calves can be born from April/May onwards and glimpses of the young calves may be possible as you walk down the Sutherland Way footpath.  Autumn/winter visits to the deer attraction give visitors excellent opportunities to see and hear impressive red deer stags roaring during the rut.

Whilst visiting the Deer Attraction, you may also meet the new Highland Cattle fold that arrived at Beecraigs in the summer of 2010.  This naturally hardy breed are a welcome new attraction at the Country Park having been sourced from the award-winning cattle based at Glasgow City Council's Pollok Country Park.  Scott the bull is impressive and the cows with their young calves are popular with the younger visitors.

 

Beecraigs' Deer Farm is registered as a producer of Quality Assured farmed venison under the independently inspected MAFF Product Certification Scheme.

Beecraigs applies high standards of livestock management and welfare to the red deer herd.  No artificial hormones or growth promoters are used.
