Pumpkin picking at Clackmae Farm

#hellohalloween Clackmae Farm is everything you want from a family pumpkin-picking day — relaxed, scenic, and full of autumn charm. Set among the rolling countryside near Earlston, the patch is surrounded by fields and trees - the perfect backdrop for a very spooktacular morning exploring a haunted maze, hunting for clues in a pumpkin patch and climbing a mountain made of hay! We spent the morning wandering through rows of colourful pumpkins of every shape and size, with wheelbarrows for the kids to fill and plenty of space to run around. There’s no rush or crowding — just a really welcoming, local feel. After choosing our pumpkins, we stopped for a snack and admired the views and the kids raced to the hay bale mountain to climb, slide and jump away their energy — the kind of simple, happy outing that makes autumn feel magical. It’s an easy drive, family-friendly, and a lovely way to spend a beautiful morning outdoors. If you’re in the Borders in October, Clackmae Farm is a must-visit for a little seasonal joy. #scotland #clackmae #scottishborders
