After a scenic drive you will arrive at ‘The Gloup’, a geological feature where a sea cave has collapsed, leaving a dramatic chasm.
Your knowledgeable local guide will then escort you on a walking tour along the cliff tops. The walk will pass ‘The Gloup’ before continuing to the natural promontory of the Brough of Deerness. This rocky outcrop was once a clifftop settlement. The tour will continue a little further along the cliffs for spectacular views over Mull Head and some of the smaller offshore islands.
