Things to do on site and in the Isle Of Rum area
If nature is your thing then Rum is the place for you! Surrounding the village and encompassing the rest of the Island is the Scottish Natural Heritage managed Rum National Nature Reserve with many important habitats and species.
Here you'll find one of the largest Manx Sheerwater colonies, the worlds longest large mammal research project on the red deer, and a rare breed of Highland ponies, specific to Rum, running wild and free on the hills.
There is much, much more too see here with walks, talks and boat trips with a ranger. You can also explore the island yourself with the aid of guide books or a nature trail. There's always plenty to see!
In the village there are a number of craft shops to browse stuffed with art and crafts by locals, or take a tour and enjoy the splendour of Kinloch Castle. Drop by the small but well stocked Rum shop for a refreshing beverage, chat to the locals and maybe join in with an event in the village hall. Visitors are always very welcome.
Take to the hills, the Rum Cuillins may not be the biggest mountains in Scotland but are well known to be as challenging as they are rewarding. Be prepared though, the hills are remote and the weather conditions can be unpredictable. Experienced hill walkers will not be disappointed.
It's also worth hiring bikes or taking a hike across the island on good tracks to Kilmory, with its stunning beaches, or to Harris which boasts dramatic cliffs.
