Did you know you can walk with alpacas in Edinburgh? What a great way to spend a day! Llamas are gentle, friendly animals that are perfect company for a peaceful stroll.
BobCat Alpacas
📍Bonaly Country Park, Edinburgh, EH13 0PB
At BobCat Alpacas, you can lead your very own alpaca on a 1-1.5-mile trek. The walk includes a small hill that opens up to gorgeous views across Edinburgh and the River Forth. The session also includes learning about the animals and their quirks!
Not only is it a fun day out, but hanging around llamas can be great for your mental wellbeing. Thanks to their gentle nature and steady demeanour, spending time with them has been shown to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and trigger the release of "feel-good" hormones like oxytocin. This can be a great day trip after the end of semester to let go of any leftover stress from exam season.
