• Plan Ahead – Before you leave the house, plan your route, check the weather forecast and dress appropriately.  Remember that the weather on the island is extremely changeable and can be much colder in exposed areas.

• Bring a map – If you prefer to use a GPS, carry a backup map and compass as well as spare batteries.  Navigating using a mobile phone will drain the battery quickly.

• Let someone know where you are going and when you intend to be back.

• Natural hazards - There are many natural hazards, such as uneven ground, rough paths, cliffs, steep and rocky ground, fast-flowing rivers and deep water with undercurrents. Use common sense and take care. There is a longstanding legal principle called “volenti non fit injuria” which means that a person taking access will generally be held to have accepted any obvious risks or risks which are inherent in the activities they are undertaking.

We ask that you please follow our simple guidelines to reduce the impact of both wild-camping and campervans on the estate land.

​​

• Do not drive on machair areas as this will damage the wildflowers and fragile environment.

• Do not park in areas that state ‘no overnight parking’ or in 'passing places'.

• Do not block access to roads, entrance ways, access to tracks and fields.

• Do not light BBQs or fires in areas where it can damage the landscape.  If you do have a fire, please ensure it is fully extinguished when finished, any remnants are cleared away and leave no evidence behind.

• Use biodegradable detergents, and drain kitchen wastewater tanks away from water courses.
