Upper Nisbet is a tenanted farm on Lothian Estate. The Neill family took over the tenancy in May 2000. The farm covered an area of 836 acres at that time.
In November 2001 a neighbouring farmer retired and as well as gaining the use of the farm buildings at Ploughlands there was another 151 acres of land. An additional 97 acres was added to Upper Nisbet in May 2007 bringing the total current area to 1,084 acres.
The farm lies from 250 to 500 feet above sea level. There are also a further 200 acres of grass parks on the neighbouring farm of Pirnie which are rented on an annual basis.
There are two full time members of staff. However, at certain times of the year other family members and their staff help out, e.g. silage and harvest.
