Great for an insight into Scottish farm life of the past. Visited with my children who loved seeing the animals at the farm and the tractor ride. Good playpark and picnic benches too. Staff all really friendly and helpful.

Free entry to members, well worth the membership. Main building houses most of the exhibit, cafe and shop, plenty to look at and read about, short walk (1/2 mile) to the working farm, pigs, hens, cows and highland cows along with the farm cats and some new born calf’s. Tractor ride to and from farm for those who find the walk too difficult. Will be back again real soon

Good museum in main building. For most people a chance for kids to see animals. Farm itself house gives a good snapshot into 1950s life. Farm supposed to represent historical Farm but machinery more modern than a lot of working farms along with some modern buildings

Another great place to visit, had a tour around a working farm from the 1950's and then went around the museum, lots of agricultural displays and equipment to look at.
Overall a really good day out.
Special mention to Margaret on the ticket sales and the shop and to Colin who showed us around some more of the harvesting machines both very professional, knowledgeable and friendly.

This is without a shadow of a doubt a great and brilliant museum to visit and is a very enjoyable and enthralling day out. The museum charters all about the rural life of people in Scotland and mainly covers about Farming and also other aspects of Rural Life on how people lived in the rural areas of Scotland through time and in addition to this there is a farm you can wander inside and see some farm animals and also countryside to wander around and enjoy some walks. The museum itself has a series of galleries to see and these are The Picture Gallery, The Study Store, The People Gallery, The Land Gallery. The Tools Gallery, The Science Gallery, Tractor Store, Horticultural Store and Blacksmith Workshop and Garden Detectives and all of these galleries are very well laid out with the right amount of information and not overloaded with it to keep you interested, brilliantly displayed and are extremely informative with a series of interesting artefacts and rural related items to see to give you a full idea of what rural life was like for people in Scotland, the struggles they had and how they farmed the landscape and the machinery they used. The Picture Gallery shows some brilliant Animal Portraits that show some incredibly fantastic detail on them of livestock and other farm related animals and The Study Store houses some very intriguing items through glass walls ranging from peat spades & wagons to Blacksmith tools and off all which look in remarkable condition considering their age and shows the great job the museum has done in preserving them. The Land Gallery details the story of how Scotland's Land has changed and been managed by people through the 18th and 20th Centuries and there is an interesting replica of an 18th Century Plough to see in this gallery. The People Gallery details life for people in Rural Communities in 18th and 20th Centuries and also talks about how Country Life was shaped by Family, War, Leisure, War and Scottish Clearances. The Tools Gallery discusses the tools used to farm the land, technology used in transforming the countryside and trades that emerged in relation to farming and you can see The oldest surviving threshing mill in the world which is from Orkney and in brilliant condition along with scythes, tractors and a Combine Harvester. The Science Gallery talks about how science was used to enable a boost food production and how the land was able to produce more food in the present than in the past. There is the tractor Store where you see an array of tractors from yesteryear, which are in fantastic condition and also the Horticultural Store where you can see some interesting Horticultural related items and the Blacksmith Shop where you can learn about the Blacksmith trade and how they make items, which is interesting. There is a Georgian Farmhouse located half a mile away from the museum where you can walk inside the Farmhouse and see a series of rooms giving a full idea of how a Farmer and his family lived and also see farm animals such as Clydesdale Horses, Highland Cattle, Tamworth Pigs and Sheep and there is also a Tractor and Trailer ride to enjoy. There is also some outstanding countryside to see and you can enjoy some really good walks including The Willow Sculpture Trail. There is a cafe and gift shop selling food, drink and souvenirs at reasonable prices. Overall this is an enthralling and really good place to visit, which makes for a very refreshing and brilliant day out. Well worth a visit whilst in East Kilbride.

What a fun day! Went with my 14 month old during the October school holidays. Expected it to be packed with older kids but it was absolutely ideal and full of younger kids. He loved the craft and soil activities and the story telling as well as the animals and the farm. Allison was fantastic and really helpful throughout the day.
Wellies and puddlesuits recommended for the farm!

The farm and museum are fascinating and so entertaining. The walk in the farmhouse while having the opportunity to see and touch animals was amazing.
Ps (If you happen to visit the farm during a sunny day and encounter a little cat , her name is Tobias, and she will follow you along if you pet her!)

This is a marvellous place to visit, the exhibition itself is already a treat with so much to see for all ages. I also loved the café with much loved food and great staff. But the real gem is the tractor ride to the working farm (and the farm itself), you don't want to miss that, believe me. 🙂
