Situated on higher land close to Lochinvar reservoir, Milnmark Farm has been owned by the Ramsay family for over 50 years. Working the land there, Glenkens resident Jim Ramsay makes a living from livestock farming.

Describing himself as a traditional farmer living in modern times, Robin Jardine is a ‘well kent’ figure in the Glenkens farming community. Born at Upper Hardland Farm, on the road between Balmaclellan and Bogue, he has lived and worked here all his life.

From an early and accidental encounter with the world of forestry in 1965, Dalry resident Kevin Peace has made a successful career in this field of work, taking jobs in many other parts of the UK and gaining qualifications along the way.
