Rahoy Estate sits on the
north of the Morvern peninsula at the junction of the sea-lochs
Teacuis and Sunart. Morvern is north east of the island of Mull
and although still on the mainland, it is best reached via the Corran-Ardgour
ferry which takes just a few minutes to cross Loch Linnhe.
Morvern is one of the rare places in Great Britain that has hardly
been touched by the detrimental aspects of modern life. In many
ways it represents Scotland as it used to be, both in its flora
and fauna and the kindly disposition of its inhabitants. Most people,
if asked, have no idea where Morvern is. Some would have it as the
best kept secret in Scotland. Of those who have ventured from the
tourist trail a few have discovered Rahoy, and they tend to return
again and again to remind themselves just how beautiful it is.
The woodland on the Rahoy Estate peninsula is internationally important
and is designated as a site of Special Scientific Interest and proposed
Special Area of Conservation. It is described as being "part
of the most intact assemblages of ancient woodland in Britain".
Because of its position and climate it supports an amazing variety
of plant life.
