The best pumpkin patches to visit in Scotland
Whether you’re after the perfect gourd for jack-o’-lantern carving, or fancy whipping up a hearty seasonal squash dish, nothing screams ‘autumn’ quite like picking your own pumpkins, surrounded by falling leaves and crisp, countryside air. So, wrap up warm, support your local businesses (they need us more than ever), and head out to one of the best pumpkin patches in Scotland to pick your own this October…
Kilduff Farm
First up on our list of the best pumpkin patches to visit in Scotland is Kilduff Farm. Opened in 2018, Kilduff Farm’s pumpkin patch is expecting a bumper crop. Last year, there was also a bale maze for the kids to explore, but you’ll need to double check what’s on offer for 2020 given the circumstances.
