Runach Arainn - Sustainability

A Nature Based Business

Our business was designed around nature, with sustainable practice at its heart. From day one we incorporated ‘green’ practices into both how the business itself works and in all areas on site for guests.

By investing in this way, we try to:

• lessen our environmental impact
• demonstrate sustainable practice
• enhance the environment around us
• create a beautiful, relaxing natural site and
• offer amazing sustainable holidays without compromising quality or luxury.

From our butterfly filled meadow and rare Arran whitebeam trees, to the abundant food forest garden and red squirrels around site, we hope you enjoy staying and engaging with your surroundings here. Lots of information is provided on what we do and tours are available.
