Highland Bull (Loch Buie)

Welcome to Lochdon

Lochdon is a sleepy hamlet about three miles south of Craignure.  Many people just drive through on their way to Iona, but there's plenty to see here, including what must be the smallest Post Office in the world!

Coming down the hill from Craignure, you get a good overview of the loch, but you'll have a better view if you turn left to either 'Gorten', or 'Grasspoint'.  Both are narrow roads, so take care, but the views are tremendous, and the wildlife is excellent.  See waders, ducks, and geese from the Gorten road, with deer, buzzards and eagles from the Grasspoint road.  With all that water about, there's always the chance of an otter! In summer ther are lots of orchids too.!!
