Important

All dogs must be on short leads to protect wildlife, particularly ground-nesting birds and their young, as well as all livestock.

And please remember to leave gates as you find them. Thank you.

Helpful Notes

As Lismore is a small island, many walks crisscross one another and it is necessary to repeat some historical and heritage information. This is to avoid your constantly having to follow links to elsewhere.

And as the mobile signal can be patchy, you may wish to save your walk beforehand, either by taking screenshots or saving to PDF (text; text+images).

Scottish Outdoor Access Code

The Scottish Outdoor Access Code states:

'Poorly controlled dogs are a serious concern for farmers, other land managers and visitors to the countryside.

Dogs can:

  • - worry or attack livestock, for example causing pregnant ewes to miscarry or resulting in injury or death,
  • - disturb wildlife, including breeding birds, and
  • - scare other people.'

Outdoor access rights and responsibilities

Argyll and Bute Council also has guidance on Outdoor access rights and responsibilities, including: 'Dog walkers also need to take responsibility for their pets and ensure that they do not worry livestock, pass disease or cause cattle to trample their owners.'
