The Green Tourism Business Scheme is the leading sustainable tourism certification
scheme in the UK, with over 1400 members. Businesses opting to join are
assessed by a qualified grading advisor against a rigorous set of criteria,
covering a range of areas, like energy and water efficiency, waste management,
biodiversity and more. We are very pleased to have been awarded a "Silver" award in 2006 by the Visit Scotland Green Tourism Business Scheme and are hoping to achieve Gold in our assessment this year. We already manage the site in an environmentally friendly way, but this scheme will help us to build upon the practices that we already have in place. For example, we already provide recycling facilities, bike hire, information on local walks and access to locally caught sea food. However over the last year we have added to this list with biodegradable cleaning products, a no smoking policy and a new septic tank to name just a few changes! We are very fortunate to live
in such a beautiful area, with such a rich and varied wildlife,
and with the help of guests we are doing our bit to help conserve
this. The following tourist attractions in the area are also members of the Green Tourism Scheme:

Businesses that meet the required standard,
receive a Bronze, Silver, or Gold award based on their level of achievement.
The current network of members is comprised of a wide range of business types,
including accommodation providers, visitor attractions, corporate offices and
others.
