Peter Holland, co-host of The Scottish Rum Festival masterclasses, tells us about Scotland’s thriving rum scene ahead of this year’s festival. This comprised of a short wander around Kinloch followed by a hill walk up Hallival and a cycle to Kilmory Bay, with extra time allocated for picnic stops and plenty of photos. The study is still ongoing today and many of the island’s permanent residents are involved with it, whether actively employed by Nature Scot or working as part-time volunteers.Like pretty much everywhere else on the west coast of Scotland, Rum can be plagued by fierce clouds of biting midges.

Longer walks through Rum’s beautiful surroundings are possible thanks to wild camping being permitted on the island as well as access to two bothies in Guirdhil and Dibidil. The walk from the ferry jetty to Kinloch Castle only takes around ten minutes so I was hoping to have lots of time to explore the interior, but sadly it was closed, though from speaking to a local it’s hoped to open for tours in the near future.

Terms & Conditions

Visitors will find an incredibly varied mix of habitats when they explore Rum, all of which are a haven for animals rarely seen elsewhere in Scotland. The nine-storey distillery will produce Scotland’s national drink using barley sourced from a single farm on the outskirts of the city and water pumped from the nearby Pentland Hills. Ideal for those that enjoy a sweeter style of rum, Matugga Golden Rum (42% ABV) and Matugga Spiced Rum (42% ABV) are currently available via Craft56. J. Gow Revenge rum

From rum distilled on a remote island to liqueurs and spiced options, here we take a look at some of the best Scottish rums. But even so, they didn’t hang about and I was only able to watch them for a few minutes before they all disappeared over the hills.Well, for a number of reasons actually, the first being it’s one of the best places in Scotland for wildlife watching. Fishing. There are six lochs on Rum (Loch Papadil, Loch Coire nan Gruund, Loch MacIvor, Loch Fiachanis, Loch a’Ghillie Reamhra, and Loch Longwhich) which are open for fishing between April and October. The only other notable feature is Kinloch Castle – a grand 19th-century country house that was built for the wealthy Sir George Bullough and is occasionally open for guided tours.

That brewery was situated in the suburb Caldtoun, in the shadow of Arthur’s Seat, which we now know to be Calton Hill.

There’s a lot to like about the Isle of Rum. From the pretty surroundings of Loch Scresort at the ferry terminal to the dramatic mountain peaks of the Cuillin Ridge to the south, this is an island that’s begging to be explored. In fact, I’ll go as far as saying this is one of the most scenic parts of the island, and seeing as it only takes 1-2 hours for a return walk you almost have to include it in a visit to Rum. The interior of the ‘castle’ is almost entirely unchanged from its heyday in the 1900s and features one of the earliest private electrical systems in Scotland, as well as the world’s only playable motorized music organ.After chaining my bike against a fence post (I admit I didn’t need to chain it on this island, but I live in Edinburgh and old habits die hard), I pressed ahead on foot to climb partway up the 2,300-foot summit of Hallival.
