Pitkerrie Farm is probably one of the best farms in Easter Ross. Situated on the top of a hill its red soil is sandy loam over old red sandstone. It is very free draining with very few drains although in wet weather where the old red sandstone comes close to the surface there can be springs (normally on the top of knolls). Crops are of good quality with yields for wheat, barley or oilseed rape which will equal anything in the UK.
