About the host

Hosted by Julie Hill

Host profile image
My name is Julie Hill and I am a tenant farmer in the Borders of Scotland.
Carcant is a traditional run sheep farm. I have diversified through breeding, selling and teaching the working sheepdog, These dogs have taken me to many wonderful places home and abroad, meeting many great people.
Because of these contacts and through Leader funding (European funded grant) I diversified further by building the cabin & kennel facility to enable owners to come with their dogs to learn the art of sheepdog training. My method “The Natural Way” of training dogs is based on the shepherd's life and needs from a working dog.
The Border collie that is the most versatile dog which was first breed in the borders of Scotland & England. Through ability their popularity has grown and the demand for these amazing dogs over the world has increase dramatically. The location of the cabin makes it ideal for all visitors to the Borders with fishing, golfing & mountain biking close by.
For the last 40 years I have dedicated my life to understand and working with these amazing dogs. I have a Canine communication certificate and won the highest level of competition.
Awards include Scottish & International Champion in Sheepdog competition in both singles and doubles. I made history becoming the first and only woman up to date in 113 years of the International sheepdog society founding to have won the prestigious award of International Supreme championship in both single and brace competition held for the whole of Britain!
While staying at the cabin its possible to book a demonstration to watch these great dogs at work in their natural environment.

Why they chose this property

The field that the property is sited on was originally bought to winter my young sheep away from the tenanted farm where I live.
With my vision and encouragement from Borders Leader group I built this unique cabin with kennel facilities to accommodate visitors in to the borders of Scotland. I have lived in different places of Scotland but I fell in love with the Borders.

What makes this property unique

The cabin has the views in a rural setting but is also in close proximity to all amenities and local activities like golfing, fishing, mountain biking & horse riding.
