The House of Cockburn was the perfect place for three generations of our family to celebrate my husband's and my fiftieth wedding anniversary. All of us from four years old to seventy-two years old were comfortable and engaged for a week. We had more than enough room to spread out and plenty of places to gather together. Helen and Jamie responded quickly and graciously to all requests for everything from bus routes into the city to permission to feed the animals. The grandchildren loved the horses, goats, donkey, sheep, chickens, etc. They played tennis and had room to roam. We all enjoyed the sausages and lamb from the family butcher. The barbecue hut is really special. Close proximity to Edinburgh provided lots of opportunities for sight seeing.
