We now have three geldings, all 13 years old. Their names are: Faro, Fyta and Fergus. We started keeping Alpacas with these 3 boys plus a fourth, Fidget, in June 2007 and although we had up to eight boys for several years, we have now reverted to keeping our originals. Sadly Fidget passed away in January 2019. Through this blog we hope to show how much pleasure can be had from owning Alpacas.
OUR SMALL HERD
Our original four boys came from Ardo Alpacas in Aberdeenshire. We are not alpaca breeders and have our boys purely as pets. Our experience is that you don't need to be a breeder and that a 'batchelor herd' can give much pleasure to the owner.
We have 5 acres including our big garden and grazing for the boys, 15 miles north of Inverness, Scotland. I spin, knit, felt and crochet with the fleece from the boys.
Clicking!!
Just a reminder that clicking on (most) of the photos will show them greatly enlarged.

FINAL BLOG POST FROM TIGH MHOR ALPACAS!
For almost 12 years we have been posting a weekly blog about our alpacas and have enjoyed very much doing this. Recently Blogger has changed the layout and operation of posting a blog which it claims is easier. We do not appear to be alone in finding that the new layout and operation is far from easy. We have therefore reluctantly decided to stop posting a weekly blog. If we find in future that the blog operation reverts to an easier format we may start blogging again.
Thanks to all our blog readers for your comments over the years and we leave you with a photo of the boys in their shelter - from the left, Fergus, Faro and Fyta. Take care of yourselves for now.
