About Us
Our story began with a handful of lavender plants on a small, steep field on the family farm.
What followed was slow, careful work - planting, tending, and learning how lavender grows in the Scottish climate. Years later, we distilled our first drops of essential oil.
That same summer, we opened the gates for the first time.

We remain a small family business.
A Working Lavender Farm
Today, we remain a small family business, growing, harvesting, and distilling lavender here in Kinross.
Each summer, for a short period, the fields come into bloom and we welcome visitors to walk among the rows, learn about the distillation process, and experience the calm of the farm at its most vibrant.
Open for a limited time each summer.
From Field to Fragrance
We grow and distil seven different lavender and lavandin oils, each shaped by our soil, climate, and methods.
This gives our products their character - floral, bright, and distinctly Scottish.
Our range includes pure essential oils, handmade soap, and lavender room sprays, all made using oil distilled here on the farm.
Middleshade Perfumes
In 2024, we launched Middleshade - a collection of perfumes inspired by Scottish landscapes, stories, and poetry.
Each fragrance begins here, with the oils we produce ourselves.
These are then blended with fine aroma materials to create scents rooted in place - from coastlines and forests to islands and hills.
Today, Middleshade perfumes are stocked across Scotland and available online, though every bottle still begins on the farm.
Looking Ahead
A decade on, we are expanding the farm - planting more rows, growing more varieties, and continuing to refine what we do.
