We welcomed our first alpacas in March 2020. We love their individual personalities that shine through!
Let us introduce you to the Arran Alpacas (& llama)!!
Dougal
Dougal is our oldest alpaca and at 4 years old is the leader of the herd (notice his ears up on constant alert). Dougal means ‘dark stranger’ in Scots but we affectionately know him as Mr Fluffy Ears. He is a calm boy who looks after his herd well. Dougal always has a cheeky smile on his face when a photo is taken.
GORDIE
Gordie was the first alpaca we named because he has a flash of white down his rear left leg (Flash Gordon). Gordie is a reliable trekker - and reliably greedy! We also call him “Greedy Gordie” as he loves his grub. He also loves checking out his reflection in the window!! Obviously he can’t believe how handsome he is!!
WALLACE
Wallace is a smaller alpaca, though is ages with Gordie. Wallace can be a bit stubborn! Our least vocal of the group (hums the least). Although small, he yielded the largest amount of fibre when sheared, he can grow quite the beard!
GLEN
Glen was the baby (Cria) of our herd when he arrived but is now more of a teenager! If you ever need an example of a cheeky alpaca, Glen is your boy! He is very inquisitive and always keen to say hello when you walk in the barn. Along with Gordie, he is quite the greedy guts and doesn’t like to miss out on anything!
LOMOND
Lomond is a white alpaca & joined us in September 2020. Named after mountains we have climbed, we think his hair is like snow-capped mountain peaks! Lomond has established himself as a bit of a leader. He likes to walk on & is known for sometimes being a bit bossy & strong!
Sir Lancelot
Sir Lancelot is one very handsome and noble steed... he is also a llama!!! Lancey Boy is all about the posing - he appears rather aloof as gives the impression he is looking down his nose at everyone! But in all honesty he is a hilarious star who helps us show off the differences between alpacas and llamas!
Book an Alpaca experience & meet our lovely boys yourself!
