About McDonald's Farm

For over 21 years, McDonald's Farm has been a cherished part of the Scottish countryside, welcoming families, nature lovers, and adventure seekers. Located just outside Carlisle, Scotland, we have built a strong reputation as a place where people can escape city life, reconnect with nature, and create unforgettable memories.

A Tradition of Community & Sustainability

Established in 2003 as a small family-run agricultural site, McDonald's Farm has grown into a vibrant destination while staying true to its roots. Our commitment to sustainability and ethical farming practices ensures that every visitor experiences the best of rural Scotland.

Over the years, we have expanded our offerings to provide a truly immersive farm experience, featuring a petting zoo, farm shop, scenic parks and trails, a children's play area, and seasonal events.
