Sunnyside is a family run working Croft situated just a couple of miles North of the village of Arisaig, on picturesque Bunacaimbe Bay, with views of the Small Isles of Eigg, Muck and Rum.

At Sunnyside we are putting into practice the term ‘Croft’ in its true sense as it is important to us that we work this marginal piece of ground by the sea for the purpose it was used in the past.

The Croft was once owned by the MacDonald’s and it is believed that Bishop Hugh MacDonald of Morar (cousin of Sunnyside MacDonald) used a building here as a Seminary and, on the 19^th August 1745, he left for Glenfinnan to Bless the Standard of Charles Stuart. 

Peaceful times are enjoyed here now and the area is abundant with beautiful scenery, wildlife and plant life, all ever changing with the seasons.

Thinking carefully in what livestock would be best suited for the West Highland environment, predominantly, nothing else could match the hardiness of Highland Cattle and Hebridean Sheep.  Seaweed is collected from the beach,  and  Compost is produced on the Croft, all for our Vegetables and Fruit that we grow here.  Working on an Organic principle, we are careful not to unbalance the native plant and animal life and the ecosystems  they live in.  Our aim is to achieve a balance on our Croft where we can live harmoniously with nature.
