Mull Head History and Nature Walk

Our Mull Head History and Nature Walk is a clifftop walk at the Mull Head exploring the history and wildlife of this Nature Reserve in Deerness. Our walk takes us along the impressive Gloup and on to the Brough of Deerness before continuing along the coastal path. This coastline is rich in a variety of habitats supporting wildflower and plant species, such as angelica, spring squill, grass of parnassus and bird's-foot trefoil. The cliffs are home to seabirds such as fulmars, shags, cormorants, guillemots and puffins and we might see seals and cetaceans too. We will also explore this headland's Pictish, Viking and modern history and folklore.
