While no walking trip to Rum would be complete without a traverse of the Cuillin (one of the best scrambly ridges in Scotland), there's plenty more to go at elsewhere on this stunning island nature reserve.

There's plenty of wildlife too, from hordes of deer to possible sea eagles. No sign of any flightless, self-pitying green ducks in nappies though. Sorry. That was Orval.
