Base for Route 16: Kinloch, Rum

Only the locals are allowed to take cars to Rum and it is not feasible to climb the Corbetts on a day trip so you will need to stay on the island. Assuming you are staying for longer than is needed to climb the Corbetts, it might be worth taking a bicycle for use around the bay and on the dirt road to Harris, which has recently been resurfaced.

Rum has hostel accommodation, a basic campsite, camping cabins and a caravan. There is also a bothy which would be a suitable base for climbing the Corbetts and wild camping is permitted on the island. An excellent website gives full information on the island, including accommodation details: www.isleofrum.com

There are likely to be big changes in the accommodation during the life of this guide with the possible closure of the facilities at the castle, to be replaced by new facilities including a B&B, so check the website to see the latest situation. The facilities tend to get full in high season and booking is advisable.
