How Angela and Hugh Future-Proofed Their Farm

October 2, 2026

Perched on a hilltop overlooking the Firth of Forth, ÖÖD by the View at LaHill Craig Farm is a multigenerational family farm owned by Angela and Hugh. Between open countryside and some of Scotland's most storied coastal terrain and golf courses, the farm sits within easy reach of Edinburgh, St Andrews, and the East Neuk.

Like many UK farmers, Angela and Hugh were facing growing uncertainty around traditional farming income. Rather than stepping away from agriculture, they wanted to build something alongside it, a small number of high-quality stays that could generate reliable revenue without compromising the land or the farm's working rhythm.

That vision led them to ÖÖD's Partnership Program: a low-investment model where ÖÖD delivers its award-winning Mirror Houses and partners operate them on a revenue-share basis, keeping up to 70% of the revenue.

LaHill Craig is a clear example of how thoughtful diversification can strengthen rural businesses without compromising their roots, creating a destination people travel for and return to, because it feels considered, grounded, and specific to its setting.
