The Hill of White Hamars is a Scottish Wildlife Trust reserve and covers around half a mile inland from the shore. But it’s the mile of coastline on the south side of South Walls that makes this place really special.

It features cliffs, caves, and geos, as well as natural arches and sea stacks. There are plenty of nooks and crannies for shelter so you can sit back and watch an impressive range of seabirds soaring on the breeze or occupying their nests.

Inland, the reserve is home to beautiful wildflowers from spring onwards, with the Scottish primrose visible alongside white campion and heath spotted-orchid. It’s a haven for butterflies too.

You can make the reserve part of a wider walk leading from Brims all the way to Longhope, taking in more of this fabulous coastline and plenty of fascinating sites.
