Description
The Ulva peninsula and Isle of Danna, located at the southern tip of the Tayvallich peninsula in Scotland, are situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty and ecological importance. The properties are largely covered by the Ulva, Danna, and McCormaig Isles Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and the Tayvallich Juniper and Coast Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The area is characterized by a mix of grassland habitats, temperate Atlantic rainforest, and coastal and marine areas, which are highly biodiverse and of national and international importance. The current owner, Highlands Rewilding Limited, is committed to restoring and connecting these habitats, reducing browsing and grazing pressure, and monitoring the area's biodiversity and carbon credits. The properties offer a unique combination of landscape, setting, and ecosystems, making them an attractive opportunity for an individual or organization looking to work with the current owner to ensure continued management in accordance with the best principles and practices of nature recovery and community prosperity.
