Track to Glenbyre West of the area dedicated by Loch Buie community for use by camper vans, the track becomes a little rougher as it heads towards the old farm of Glenbyre. It is still used by vehicles that far, though not for the public. At Rubha na h-Airde Glaise, it sticks close to the cliffs with their wave-cut notch and is surrounded on both sides by Flag Iris. The track is guarded by signs requiring dogs to be on leads at all times, "no excuses", as there are sheep with lambs and ample evidence that they occasionally manage to fall over crags to their deaths (one or two looked likely to be goats who are usually more skilled on rocks, but gravity affects everyone...) Signs also warn of adders which do indeed seem to be quite common on this stretch of the south coast of Mull.

The Old Post Office Lochbuie We came across this old wooden shed, which is the old Post Office at Lochbuie. It is a self serve shop with a small range of goods but surprisingly there was a freezer with venison and other meat at very low prices. There was an honesty box in which you put the money to pay for the goods you wanted. We saw this in 2013 and it may not be the same now.
