Overview
If you are visiting the Isle of Mull, are fit enough to walk a few miles over rough terrain and are interested to see/hear at first hand what it's like to be a hill farmer here in the Scottish Hebrides (and to learn about the local culture, traditions and heritage), our Hebridean Farm Hikes are for you! You'll encounter a host farmer passionate about the countryside, a herd of (slightly wild!) Highland ponies and a flock of (very friendly) Shetland sheep. Depending on the weather, the hiking experience in this wild landscape can range from challenging (i.e. wet and muddy...) to mysterious (i.e. misty...) to stunning (when the sun is shining!). The sights change with the seasons: in the spring and summer, there are wild flowers galore; in the autumn, the bracken turns golden and dies back, making it easier to walk; and in the winter, you'll understand the challenges of farming in this part of the world! We look forward to welcoming you to our unique wee corner of planet Earth soon...

TobermoryWe're on a hill farm, so unsurprisingly, there aren't any listed 'tourist' sites on our guided walks (hence why I had to select Tobermory as the attraction). The walk starts at the entrance to The Fauld Farm just outside Tobermory then we head up on to Meadow Ridge (so called because it's covered in a carpet of wild flowers in spring and summer). On clear days, from this ridge you can see for miles across the sea to the mainland and out towards the distant Iself of Rum. We'll pass Highland ponies and Shetland sheep and (depending on the time of year) we may also see the occasional hare plus encounter wild birds such as ravens, rock doves, hoodies and curlews. Time permitting (everyone walks at different speeds!), we may also venture on to the second ridge of the farm, which looks out over Bloody Bay, scene of a historic sea battle in the 15th century. In the distance, provided it's not too misty, you can also see Rubha Nan Gall Lighthouse). You need strong boots for the walk!
