About dogs

Keep your dog under proper control:

 do not let it worry or attack livestock

 do not take it into a field where there are calves or lambs

 keep it on a short lead or under close control in fields where there are farm animals

 if cattle react aggressively and move towards you, keep calm, let the dog go and take the shortest, safest route out of the field

 keep it on a short lead or under close control during the bird breeding season (usually April to July) in areas such as moorland, forests, grassland, loch shores and the seashore

 pick up and remove any faeces if your dog defecates in a public open place.

Stalking

Wild deer stalking is an essential part of the deer management programme, and takes place between July and February. Stalking does not occur on Sundays. Unlike, say, the Isle of Skye, Mull does not have a Hillphone system that you can call to check about stalking. You need to phone the relevant estate office.
