ラム国立自然保護区でののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Barkeval at 591m is one of the most northerly of the Rum Cuillin. It's more accessible than the full Cuillin round and makes a great walk combined with the steeper and rockier Hallival. Amazing views from the summit.

Hallival at 722m is one of the most northerly of the Rum Cuillin. It's steep and rocky but still more accessible than the full Cuillin round. It makes a great walk combined with Barkeval. Amazing views from the summit.

The Rum shop and post office is a small but well stocked shop. Like most of the island shops it's a centre for the community here providing all the daily needs for visitors and locals. Check the notice board for events and interesting island news.

Kinloch Castle is an Edwardian mansion which was completed in 1900. The castle and island are now owned by Scottish Natural Heritage. You can visit the castle at times that coincide with ferry landings.

Built between 1897 and 1900, Kinloch Castle was the country residence of the Bulloughs who had bought the island of Rum as a shooting estate. It was used as a hostel until 2015 but now requiring significant investment for repairs, it is sadly currently closed.

A brilliantly placed and very remote bothy on the coast and below the Rum Cuillin. If you intend to stay here as with other bothies you need to bring your own food, sleeping bag and mat and a stove to cook on. Dibidil Bothy recently had a new roof installed which took about 220person days of volunteer labour. If you plan to stay here or use the shelter, please consider joining the Mountain Bothies Association to help fund the upkeep of these brilliant buildings. mountainbothies.org.uk

At 812m this is the highest point on Rum and therefor the highest peak in the Rum Cuillin. It's a brilliant, scramble pyramidal peak standing at the head of the Cuillin ridge and offering awesome views across the island and across to Eigg. It's a tough expedition of a run but very satisfying especially if you camp or stay at the bothy and make it a two day adventure.

The CalMac ferry to Rum from Mallaig takes about 80mins and runs fairly regularly all year. It is dependent on the weather and can get fully booked so it's worth calling ahead and booking if possible. calmac.co.uk/article/2125/Rum
