About

Machair is the Gaelic word for the fertile low lying ground running inland off the Atlantic Coast on the Outer Hebrides. It is one of the rarest habitats in Europe, renowned for its wader birds and wild flowers including rare orchids.

The Machair is also of great importance to our crofting practises, as it is where we both grow our crops and graze our cattle in summer.

Step out onto this unique eco-system for a tour of one of the largest Machair areas in Europe. Witness a sea of wild flowers, wading birds living in harmony with our Aberdeen Angus herd of cattle, then cross over to the east side of the machair on the edge of Loch Bee and hear all about our growing cycles and native crops including our machair tatties.
