<h2>STIRLINGSHIRE MONITOR FARM</h2><h2>M﻿eet the Duncan Family - Lands of Drumhead Farm</h2><h3>Lands of Drumhead and Blairfad total 1,250ac
 and are situated on the boundary of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, near Gartness hamlet in the Endrick valley. They are farmed by the Duncan family, who have a stratified system with the hill farm at Inveruglas producing replacements for the lowland units.
</h3><h3>Three of Bruce and Shona’s four children are looking to return to the farm from full-time education and are becoming increasingly involved in the running of the farms. Bruce’s parents and his father’s cousin also continue to be involved at their respective holdings.
</h3><h3>The 30 hilled suckler cows and 1,3000 Black-faced ewes at Inveruglas are the basis of the herds and flocks at Lands of Drumhead and Blairfad. In total, the Duncans are calving 180-190 cows each year,
 and have a flock of 2,300 sheep.</h3><h2>T﻿he ambition of the programme is to instigate positive transformational change in innovative sustainable farming practices on nine farms across Scotland and to use the learnings from these farms for the benefit of farmers across the country.</h2>
