The railway is 1¼ miles (2 km) long and operates steam and diesel hauled trains to Torosay, where you can visit Scottish Baronial Torosay Castle and 12 acres (4.8 hectares) of prize-winning gardens and woodland walks. There is also a footpath from Torosay to Duart Castle (about 3 miles (4.8 km)), ancestral home of the Clan MacLean. The train journey is one of great beauty and the 260 mm gauge trains potter slowly alongside the Sound of Mull with extensive views of Ben Nevis, the Glencoe hills, the island of Lismore and the mass of Ben Cruachan, and the journey is completed at Torosay station. The wild flowers along the way can be spectacular, particularly the primroses, wild garlic and bluebells. Craignure Isle of Mull |
| Isle of Mull Cheese Visit the Website Sgriob-ruadh Farm Dairy, Tobermory, Scotland, Isle of Mull At Sgriob-ruadh (Gaelic: meaning "Red Furrow" and pronounced Ski-brooah) the cows are predominantly Friesian but the odd Ayrshire or Jersey. Most recently, Brown Swiss cows have been introduced. Their milk is especially suitable for the making of fine cheese. Fine cheese, of course, can not be made with out the very best of milk. No cheese is made with fresher milk than that used at Sgriob-ruadh. Here, in the morning, as the cows are milked, their milk is taken directly from the milking parlour to the cheese-making vat. This is the freshness denied to the large scale, factory-like cheese-making plant of today, who must first collect their milk by road-tanker from many farms over a wide area. Visitors to the Farm are always most welcome. You may see us at work making " Isle of Mull", inspect the cheeses as they mature for many months in our underground cellar, watch the cows being milked, or simply relax over a Ploughman's lunch in the Garden Barn. Those who know Isle of Mull will tell you that of all the Scottish Islands it is the most beautiful. We hope that you will discover some of its magic and mystery through its cheese! Do not forget to relax in the Garden Barn |
