Please leave your car at the Tiroran car park. • The walk from here to the fossil tree is about 5 miles (8.5km) along a rough and sometimes steep path. • Allow at least six hours for the round trip. Beyond Burg bothy, the track deteriorates and passes below some spectacular cliffs. • The path includes a steep descent to a beach via an iron ladder. Take extreme care. • Keep dogs under close control and bear in mind that they can’t descend the ladder. • The path ends at the fossil tree and it is very difficult to progress beyond this. Burg Fossil tree trail 7 DUN BHUIRG Situated on a cliff edge, this unexcavated defended stone roundhouse is one of nine such sites around the edge of Loch Scridain, all thought to date back 2,000 years to the Iron Age. Each was the focus for a farming community. The walls are over 4m thick, and the base of a flight of stairs is visible. 8 COASTAL GRASSLANDS Heath-spotted orchid The coastal grasslands are home to one of Scotland’s rarest moths, the slender Scotch burnet.

  • Mull April 2011
    Mull 23rd - 30th April 2011 – Chris Barlow A long overdue birding holiday to Mull spending a week with the family based in a self catering cottage (Kellan Mill) on the shore of Loch Na Keal. Rain on the first morning, dry warm and sunny although windy for the week except 28th when still and cloudy. Sites visited during the week Loch Na Keal, 24th & 25th Pulling in anywhere round the loch often proved rewarding, each bay held a pair of Great Northern Divers in the first part of the week, the scrub and small patches of reeds held increasing numbers of vocal warblers and Cuckoos were heard regularly. Oystercatchers and Whimbrels were common but the star of the area was undoubtedly the White-tailed Eagles, with 2 adults and a 1st year juvenile both seen in flight together one afternoon and another seen regularly especially when the wildlife cruise boat was around on the Friday morning when it went to the boat 4 times, we opted out of paying £30 for the trip after watching from the shore on Monday when it went for a single fish and took that a long way from the boat. Calgary, 25th & 26th 2 Great Northern Divers from the old ruined pier was the highlight here. A very vocal Song Thrush sang throughout the morning of the 26th and a male Whitethroat made his presence known at the foot of the cliffs by the pier. Sand Martins were nesting in the dunes. Tobermory area & Aros Park 26th & 29th North of Tobermory gave us our first glimpses of Hen Harriers while the Forestry Commission site of Aros Park just south of the town gave outstanding views of Wood Warblers which favoured the area around the south of the loch and a singing Tree Pipit in the open area found by following the path up the hill just past the play area at the northern end.

  • Battleaxe from Duart

Twenty-eighth chief of Clan Gillean ear Members of the Clan. I cannot start my letter to you D all for 2007 without thanking those of you who wrote letters or sent cards, when Mary died. They were all appreciated not just by me but also by all the family. Mary was determined that her cancer was not going to stop her leading as normal a life as possible, and this she did with the courage and determination that were the hallmarks of her life. She didn’t complain and just got on with things knowing that her cancer was incurable, and that it had not responded to treatment. Mary was determined that we would go south for Christmas to spend it with all the children and their families. We had a great Christmas together, but Mary died before we returned to Scotland. So much of what has been done at Duart, since my father died in 1990, was the result of Mary’s thoughts and ideas. Mary organised the shop and e-commerce, many of the displays in the Castle, and the children’s panels, which give children their own tour of the Castle. There were lots of good things that happened in 2007. Our grandchildren increased by four. Emma, the Maid of Morven had twins, Francesco and Cecilia, in April; Alexandra had her fi rst baby, Betsie in June, and Malcolm and Anna’s son Archie, a The Chief and Richard Compton Maclean of Torloisk, unveiling a cairn brother for Oscar and Fergus, was born in November.

  • 2009 Tunnock's Tour of Mull
    WEB VERSION SAFETY MANUAL The Tunnock’s Tour of Mull Rally 2009 Web Version. 30 September 2009 Rally Headquarters and Rally Control for ‘The Best Rally in the World’ will be in the Salen Hotel, (XXXXXXXX) and most of the Safety Team will be staying at the Isle of Mull Hotel, Craignure (xxxxxxxx). Some of the Recovery Crews are staying at the Park Lodge Hotel, Tobermory, (xxxxxxxxxx). All stage safety traffic will be on 81 MHz. and the ‘red’ and ‘blue’ UK General frequencies. All ‘mandatory’ and ‘optional’ radio points for each stage are shown in this safety plan, with the mandatory ones shown in bold and matching the information shown in the Road Book which is issued to competitors. RAYNET will provide links between all 81 MHz controls and Rally HQ at Salen and will have operators at some stage locations. A local arrangement, working with the 81 MHz controller is in place for stages 1and 2. This year RAYNET is again providing a radio position finding system for the Road Closing Car, the Safety Officer, The Chief Safety Officer, the Chief Marshal, the Flying Control Car and the Road Opening Car. Subject to available equipment supplied by individuals who hold the necessary license, additional mobiles may also be covered. As the Chief Safety Officer and the Chief Marshal must contact Rally HQ directly after completing each stage, it is counter-productive to report their positions to Rally HQ, as doing so unnecessarily increases radio traffic. Radio operators should therefore not report these vehicles to Rally Control. The senior member of each Recovery vehicle will act as the Stage Safety Officer on their stages and as the vehicles are equipped with 81 MHz, and in most cases with RAYNET, they will act as the radio link between the locus of any incident, the start and end of the stage, and Rally HQ in Salen.
