Camping

  Garden House Camping

Small, isolated, well sheltered camp site to the west end of the island, surrounded by the RSPB reserve. This site has facilities and the water is a private supply tested by the local Environmental Department.
The walled garden is listed by Historic Scotland for its historic value, and association with Breachacha New Castle.
We are a working farm and this means we must conform to DEFRA bio-security codes, and so we ask you to register on arrival.

SCOTTISH OUTDOOR ACCESS CODE

If you're planning a wild camping trip, be sure to familiarise yourself with the Scottish Outdoor Access Code - camping. It's not complicated - basically, campers should follow a policy of 'leave-no-trace'.

Here are some top points to follow:

  • Avoid overcrowding by moving on to another location if it's already a busy spot.
  • Use a stove, please no camp fire. Never cut down or damage trees.
  • Take away your rubbish and consider picking up other litter as well.
  • Don't camp in enclosed fields of crops or farm animals.
  • Keep well away from buildings, roads or historic structures.
  • If in doubt, ask the landowner. Their advice just might help you find a better camping spot.
