Tobermory
We'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!
