About Us

Urquhart Castle Loch Ness

History

Borlum is an historic farm dating back to the 14th century with its service to Urquhart Castle, providing castle residents and retainers with necessary sustaining provisions! 

Today sheep, cows and horses are seen grazing the fields around the castle. The MacDonald-Haig family have farmed at Borlum since 1956, when it was purchased from the Seafield estate.

Expanding the Business

Over the ensuing years, with a second and third generation at the helm, we have expanded our campsite with new and improved facilities.

We hope you will enjoy a unique opportunity to savour the beauty of our Highland countryside, and we look forward to welcoming you to our spacious and well-appointed camp site, just a 15-20 minute walk from Loch ness shore.

Livery & Grazing

We also offer top quality livery services and grazing for your horse/pony. We have one Indoor school, two outdoor arenas and our riding country is second to none.  Why not take advantage of all we offer and bring your own horse on holiday too!

We can offer boarding for your horse and lessons, on your own horse, with our highly experienced resident instructor, Pauline Corker.

Pauline has taught at Borlum Farm for over 30 years and boasts a wealth of knowledge and excellent tuition.

Activities & Food

The central position of Drumnadrochit is ideal for exploring both the immediate area and further afield.  We boast a surprisingly favourable weather record!

A wide choice of restaurants, fishing, hill walking, boating, tennis and bowls are available locally.

Inverness City Centre

Inverness offers a good shopping centre, golf, curling, swimming pool, ice rink, museums, cinemas and theatre. It is on a good bus route. This area provides some of the most wonderful scenery in Scotland with much to see and do for everyone. For those who just want peace and beauty, there are many roads and tracks that lead deep into the surrounding hills and glens with frequent opportunities to see buzzards, herons, roe deer, red squirrels and other wildlife.  Monster spotting is another good activity but we cannot guarantee a sighting!

Loch Ness Bay Campsite

"Absolutely Brilliant Site & Very Friendly Staff!"

"Really enjoyed our night here. Large pitches, clean facilities, and friendly and helpful staff. Easy walk into town the one way, or to the loch the other. Plenty of country walks straight from the site too."

"Really pleasant two night stay on the campsite. Friendly, helpful but otherwise unintrusive staff and wardens. The toilet and shower blocks were always clean and the farm is well located for nearby amenities. We will return."
