Eagle Watch On Mull

Eagle Watch brings fantastic boost to Mull’s tourism industry  

Mull’s Eagle Watch has just pulled off a double whammy in tourism awards!

As well as winning a top notch 4-star wildlife experience award from Visit Scotland the team behind the successful centre have also scooped a silver grade Green Tourism Award at their first attempt.

Sue Dewar, one of the hide rangers said: “This is fantastic for us and really sets Mull Eagle Watch up there with Scotland’s finest nature tourism destinations. It’s been a real team effort all round – so the Green Tourism Award is a great achievement, especially as it’s our first ever attempt! We got a very good feedback report from the people behind the Green Tourism Business Scheme and it’s given us a couple of pointers for things we could do a little more work on and maybe get the gold award next time.

“We were pretty close to getting the 5-star award from Visit Scotland, too, so you can be sure that we won’t be resting on our laurels. We’re already looking to next year – a 5-star and gold award would put us well and truly on the visitor map!”


Mull Eagle Watch is a partnership involving Strathclyde Police, Scottish Natural Heritage, Mull and Iona Community Trust, RSPB and Forestry Commission Scotland.
Now situated at Glen Seilisdeir (say Shellister), Mull Eagle Watch is one of the best places in Europe to enjoy unique and spectacular views of white-tailed sea eagles. Visitors can also spot golden eagles, hen harriers, buzzards and red deer.

More popular than ever, the two trips to the hide each day (10am and 1pm) have all been fully booked so far this season, so if you’re planning to enjoy this amazing experience, book well in advance.
