Hill of White Hamars has attractive coastal cliffs with caves, natural arches, stacks and a large blow-hole. The many narrow inlets provide good opportunities for short-range viewing of cliff-nesting seabirds. Hill of White Hamars was the first Scottish Wildlife Trust reserve established to protect the endangered Scottish primrose.
