The Friends of Calgary Bay are dedicated to protecting this beautiful area of Mull for the enjoyment of all.

We now need your help to restore the fragile, degraded machair habitat to its full glory.

Dog walkers be aware, sadly there are several dead seal pups in Calgary bay due to the storm. If you see alive seals sheltering please give them space, up to 100m. They will be exhausted having fought the sea for the last couple of days and need time to recover in peace.
Thank you

A seal pup has been seen in the vicinity of Calgary Bay, and others could come ashore anywhere around the coastline.They are grey seal pups and they do this whilst they are moulting. It takes a lot of energy at this time of their life. People should not approach them to try and get them back in the water as the stress could impact their survival. The area is being closely monitored and BDMLR are aware of its presence. It is a criminal offence to disturb seal pups.The advice is to keep a distance of over 100m and dogs on leads.
Thank you in advance

The sheep have now left the Machair and the gates are open but please be careful as there may still be sheep in the area. Thank you Robert MacKinnon for lending us your sheep.

Rally users of Calgary
Please can we ask that if you are staying at the wild camping site at Calgary this year you respect it and the staff that help to run it. Friends of Calgary Bay is part of Mull and Iona Community Trust, a local charity,helping look after the Machair, the beach, the camping area and the toilets. Your donations means that the toilets can stay open all year and are cleaned regularly. Your donations are important and used 100% to look after the Bay Area and the toilets. It is not a free for all and to be abused as happened last year. Thank you for your support, please donate if you use the facilities and enjoy the rally.

Our grazier has put his sheep onto the Machair to graze the annual growth back.Please keep all dogs out of the fenced area and under very close control on the way down to the beach and in the car park. Thank you in advance.

The application for housing on the headland near the old pier had been withdrawn, but this might not be the end of the story so we need to watch out for further actions

A point of note for all dog walkers at Calgary. We will shortly be putting sheep back in the enclosed area of the machair to graze the grass off.
Please can all dogs be kept under close control (preferably leads)around the area, particularly in the car park area and walking to the beach. No dogs are permitted in the fenced area during this time. Sheep do roam the area out with this time too so please respect this and behave responsibly if you know your dog may act negatively towards them.
