They’re showcasing and selling their buffalo meat and other home-grown produce at a Christmas farmer’s market. \n\nIn Newtonmore in the Cairngorms National Park, tupping is now under way. Robert finally gets to work building Jenni’s new alpaca trekking arena, where she plans to welcome tourists in the spring.
