Tireragan covers 625 hectares of spectacular wild coastal land on the south west tip of the Ross of Mull. It encompasses rocky coastline, upland heath and bog, grassland and nationally important ancient native oak and hazel woodland . It is an area of conservation importance. It also has evidence of human habitation going back 4000 years, with the ruins of 5 clachans dating from the early 19th century that would have been home to around 100 people, still clearly visible.
Tireragan is on the island of Mull, off the west coast of Scotland.
The land is on the southwestern tip of the island - in an area known as the 'Ross of Mull'. A close-up of the land under the Trust's guardianship. The beach in the bottom right hand corner is Tràigh Gheal.
