about us

Errington’s Barn, owned by Selina and Andrew Cairns, opened in 2024 as part of their family farm in the Southern Uplands of Scotland. The Barn is a true family affair: Andrew’s mum Caroline bakes the cakes, and his sister Angela is one of the cheesemakers.

Errington Cheese, founded in 1985 by Selina’s father, Humphrey Errington, has been producing award-winning farmhouse cheeses for nearly 40 years. From the pioneering Lanark Blue, made with ewe’s milk, to the celebrated Corra Linn cheddar and their Blackmount goat’s cheese, which won ‘Super Gold’ at the World Cheese Awards in 2022, Errington Cheese has earned a place on the menus of top chefs and in the country’s finest delis and farm shops.

Today, Selina and Andrew are proud to share their passion for sustainable farming, cheesemaking, and local food with visitors to the Errington’s Barn. They believe the Barn offers a space where customers can connect with the land, the food, and the people behind it, forging lasting relationships that go beyond the plate.
