Hilly Cow Wigwams

Heated wooden wigwam cabins on a working farm at the edge of the Pentland Hills, with views over the Forth Valley and Edinburgh on the horizon.

Hilly Cow sits on a working farm in West Lothian, positioned between Kirknewton and the Pentland Hills with panoramic views across the Forth Valley. The cabins face the sunset over fields and farmland, with the lights of Edinburgh visible in the distance on clear evenings. This is genuinely countryside, not a rural fringe of the city.

The wigwam cabins are heated and well-equipped, with a communal kitchen stocked with everything needed for cooking, a games room with table tennis and TV, and outdoor play equipment for children. Farm animals are present and accessible, though not forced on you. The owners are hands-on and host-present, the type who'll advise on places to go and remember details about returning guests. Farm-fresh eggs and milk have been mentioned by visitors as a particularly nice touch.

Edinburgh is 10 miles away and Kirknewton (with a train station running into the city) is 3 miles. Stirling Castle, Linlithgow Palace, Dunfermline Abbey, and Culross are all within practical day-trip range. Walking and cycling routes are accessible from the site. The location works as a countryside base for exploring a wide arc of Central Scotland.

“A well-run farm glamping operation with genuine landscape views and an owner who cares. The Edinburgh access via Kirknewton station makes it one of the few countryside sites where you can have the rural morning and the city afternoon.”
