Welcome to Callumkill

Welcome to Callumkill, an estate covering about 3,000 acres of the South Eastern corner of the Isle of Islay, the southern-most isle of the Inner Hebrides. Callumkill Farmhouse is set high on a ridge with inspiring views over fields of plump sheep, the pagodas of both Ardbeg and Lagavulin distilleries and the sea. On a clear day you can see the Giant’s Causeway in Antrim to the west and Arran and the Mull of Kintyre to the east. The setting feels tranquil and remote, yet the town of Port Ellen is only a few miles away and Ardbeg distillery with its full flavoured peaty whiskey is just at the foot of the farm road. In fact the lochs and rivers of Callumkill supply Lagavulin and Ardbeg distilleries with the water that makes those distinctive drams.

On the hills of Callumkill we farm cattle and sheep, provide stalking of red and fallow deer and shooting of wild pheasant, snipe and woodcock, sell our farm’s meat (beef and lamb) delivered direct to your home and we have two very different properties for holiday let.

Islay has much to offer – 8 distilleries of the finest single malt whiskies, world class golf, wonderful beaches and a rich history to explore including Vikings, Celts, Irish saints, Clan feuds and the seat of the Lord of the Isles!
