View from the Cottage:
The Cottage commands a spectacular view out to the famous islands of Staffa and Iona. Closer to home, there is Inch Kenneth, former home of the Mitford sisters, and the island of Ulva.
In front of the cottage, apart from the sheep grazing, you can often spot soaring buzzards or eagles. Get up early in the morning and you might spot some deer in the field. The sunrises and sunsets will take your breath away.
