There will be a Food Trail Map in your cottage when you arrive, but in the meantime you can look at the Food Trail website to get a better idea of what awaits you! All the producers/shops/eateries listed will have met the Food Trail criteria of creating, selling or using local produce. Wonderful shellfish, smoked fish, cheese, biscuits, ice cream, meats, baking, garden produce.. and more…

The Boathouse on Ulva

The Boathouse is a great place to go for lunch, crossing in the private ferry and sitting outside looking at the view whilst enjoying the freshest shellfish and wonderful soups and home baking. Walking here is lovely too.

Calgary Arts and Robin’s Boat

Calgary Tearoom does teas, home baking and light lunches – and lots of local art. There is a lovely walk through the woods to the beach, look for sculptures along the different paths. At the beach, on sunny days, Robin’s Boat sells Isle of Mull Ice Cream.
