Craigies

Pick your own eggs in Craigies Farm

Every time we return to Scotland a must-stop for us as a family is the fabulous Craigies Farm, located in Kirkliston Nr Edinburgh. .Its a truly fantastic family destination, from the pick-your-own to touring around the farm animals, the playground, the cafe, the shop….my kids love spending a few hours there.

If you don’t have time to PYO, they have tubs of freshly picked fruit in Craigies Farm
