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...
