Mull of Kintyre

Kintyre is a long, thin peninsula in western Scotland, over 30 miles long and only 2 miles wide at its narrowest.  It stretches out south-west towards Northern Ireland, just 13 miles away by sea.  The central spine is hilly moorland, the coastal areas are littered with caves and the lowlands are particularly fertile, which leaves a diverse landscape that boasts both natural beauty and a rich history.  The Mull of Kintyre is the southern tip of the peninsula, which is where you will find Wilder Ways - see Directions.

​From the very first Pictish inhabitants to the establishment of the Gaelic Kingdom of Dal Riada, there have been very few quiet times in the peninsula’s history.  Dal Riada was ultimately destroyed by Norse Vikings after their very creative circumnavigation of the peninsula.  From here battles have raged between the Scots and the Norse, then later much civil unrest, especially between the MacDonalds and the Campbells.

​Today this beautiful peninsula is packed with great things to see and do, from land and by sea, making it a great location for our adventure holidays.  As if our farm and the herd were not enough adventure, Kintyre itself much to offer.  A vibrant and historic whisky scene, wildlife rich waters, world class golf courses, the Kintyre Way and Route 66.  Visit ruined castles, sail wild seas, explore islands, surf stunning beaches or simply feast on exquisite seafood.  To truly discover all that Kintyre has to offer, check out Visit Kintyre & Isle of Gigha | Places to Visit in Scotland | Wild About Argyll & the Isles
