Baugh Farm, Tiree
Posted 15 Feb 04 by Scott Andrew Bird. Filed in Scotland.
Baugh Farm, situated on the Isle of Tiree (sometimes Tyree) in the Inner Hebrides, is one of the most remote farms in Scotland. The farmhouse itself was recently renovated and is currently used to provide guest accomodation in the summer months.
The island can be reached by ferry (see the Caledonian MacBrayne site for timetables) and accomodation is available at Baugh Farmhouse itself, or several other small hotels and guest houses nearby.
