Stouslie Farm Pumpkin Patch, Hawick – A Scenic, Family-Friendly Autumn Adventure

#hellohalloween Stouslie Farm in Hawick is a gorgeous spot for pumpkin picking — surrounded by rolling countryside and full of that cosy, autumn atmosphere that makes the season feel special. The patch itself is well set out, with rows of bright orange pumpkins in every size, from tiny decorative ones to big, bumpy carving pumpkins. We loved how relaxed and friendly it felt — no rush, no crowds, just families enjoying the fresh air and the fun of finding the perfect pumpkin. There are great photo spots too, with hay bales, farm scenery, and those stunning Borders views in the background. There is a Halloween trail set up for families to follow around in a loop - taking turns to try out the straw pen (think of big piles of soft straw under a roof where kids can launch themselves into the hay), archery, climbing a hay mountain and the hay bale obstacle course (and much more)! On the way round, you watch for boards with hidden letters and write down each letter you see so you can un-scramble them at the end to make a secret phrase. It’s a lovely mix of local charm and seasonal excitement — the kind of place that makes pumpkin picking feel like a proper autumn tradition. #hawick #scottishborders
