 There are several walks on the Glengorm Estate but my personal favourite is
the short walk to Dun Ara Castle. Follow the B8073 from Tobermory and just outside
of the town turn right - signposted Glengorm. Park by the coffee shop at
Glengorm Castle which is open from Easter to October selling roasted coffee,
fresh baking and lunches. All the food is cooked on the premises using
Glengorm's own produce from the farm and walled garden.
Walk over the bridge
opposite the coffee shop and follow the farm track which goes out in front
of the castle.
 The track goes to the right and a detour can be made down the
bank to have a closer look at the standing stones. Continue on the track
until it curves round to the left and Dun
Ara can be seen on the top of the second crag. The ascent is easy from the
south-east side and the castle's foundations are clearly visible. On a clear
day there are views out to Coll and the Uists. Return the same way and
please remember that Glengorm is a working farm so please keep dogs on a
lead at all times. |
