Wings over Mull opened its doors for the first time on 15th July 2001.  Run by Sue and Richard Dewar, the centre is based on the Isle of Mull at Craignure, close to Torosay  and Duart Castles.  It is set amidst spectacular scenery, with Dun da Ghaoithe (Mull’s second highest hill) towering above, and wonderful views out across the Sound of Mull below.

How to find us:

From the ferry terminal at Craignure, take the road towards Fionnphort for about 2 miles.  We are just beyond the entrance to Torosay Castle, on the right hand side.  Look out for our road signs.  Follow the steep drive up for about half a mile and you will find our car park on the right.  Please park your car, walk along the road and come into the centre by the side of the white house.  Parking for disabled visitors is next to the house.

The centre is home to a varied collection of birds of prey from across the globe, with daily flying displays and a visitors’ centre housing a wealth of information on conservation, rehabilitation, local initiatives and the history of falconry.  We currently have over 40 birds of 25 different species including all the British owls and falcons.

Mull is one of the best places in the UK to see birds of prey, and many of our visitors come especially to watch wild raptors, as well as seabirds, waders, otters, red deer, whales, seals, porpoises and dolphins.  Sue and Richard hope that Wings over Mull will provide an opportunity for visitors to see birds of prey at close quarters, whilst learning about their conservation needs.

Although we are situated on the side of a hill, we have tried to make access as easy as possible for our disabled visitors.  We have provided parking spaces, toilet facilities and ramps into our visitor centre.  There are no surfaced pathways around the grounds yet, but wheelchair access is usually possible to view all the aviaries unless it is very wet underfoot.   We would urge all our visitors to wear wellies or walking boots, particularly in wet weather.

We love dogs, but unfortunately our birds do not.  Our car park offers very little shade, so on hot days please leave your dogs behind.  Dogs die in hot cars!  If you have to bring your pet with you in hot weather, please park in our disabled car park under the tree.
