Visiting Lunga
Lunga, the main island of the Treshnish, is a bird reserve. Please treat it with respect. By stepping onto this island you are intruding into the lives of other creatures. Please do not encroach within 10 metres of the birds. Stay on the paths and away from areas where there are puffin burrows because you will cause them to collapse, possibly trapping young birds or adults inside.
DO take all your litter home.
DO NOT disturb or approach the wildlife, particularly during the breeding season.
DO sit and wait for a while – it is often possible to gain a more rewarding view of the wildlife.
DO NOT climb on old walls or move stones. This can damage a valuable archaeological site.
DO avoid the cliff edges and wet grass on steep slopes.
