Duncan and Lisa Kennedy with their enthusiastic scrumper, Guinness
We purchased Gillingshill in 2007 but plans change and after living abroad and working away from home, we returned to live here permanently in 2017. This is our home, and by creating ‘Home away from Home’ accommodation we would like others to enjoy this beautiful part of Scotland – the East Neuk of Fife.
We live, work and socialise here, and so love sharing what this hidden corner of Fife has to offer.
Lisa
It was Lisa’s desire to make the most of our apples that has led to the creation of East Neuk Orchards. As luck would have it, her background in botany and landscape architecture has helped us develop our approach to orchard establishment, selecting apple varieties and exploring new planting techniques.
Duncan
Having been a pilot for 22 years Duncan has turned his attention to the mechanics behind apple pressing, pasteurising and orchard maintenance. He’s technically minded and is working on improving the apple juicing process.
