Local Area
Kippen
Five decades ago Kippen had a global reputation for its massive grapevine, producing an annual crop of over 2000 bunches. They were sold as a luxury food at the counters of the best stores in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London! This resulted in Kippen being a very popular tourist attraction from worldwide visitors.
Sadly, the Kippen vine was cut down in 1964 however there are still cuttings of the original vine being grown in various households throughout the village so it still lives on.
There are two friendly pubs in the village offering excellent food and customer service – The Inn at Kippen and Kippen Cross Keys. We are also lucky to have two lovely deli / cafes on our doorstep – Rhubarb Lime and The Woodhouse.
A car is recommended for your stay, although not essential. There is a bus service that passes by the end of the farm road and the train/ bus services are pretty good – but they can’t take you off the beaten track!
