Norman’s Ruh at Torloisk on Loch Tuath above Loch na Kael, the Isle of Mull.
Norman’s Ruh, a converted crofter’s cottage, very nice. Wonderful setting.
I believe Torloisk is the name of the estate or large land holding. It appears to be a large commercialized agricultural landholding, with lots of rented properties, farm and homes alike.
Loch na Kael is Gaelic for Loch of the Kyle or Narrows.
Loch Tuath leading to Loch na Kael and the Munro and extinct volcano of Ben More
The local telephone book on Mull is all of nine pages in length. Fully three of those pages contain surnames beginning with ‘Mc’ or ‘McK’.
