Burg is a place at the western tip of the Ardmeanach peninsula of the Isle of Mull in Argyllshire. It is best known for MacCulloch’s fossil tree.
Burg is a protected landscape in several ways; a National Scenic Area, a Special Area of Conservation and more importantly it is owned by the National Trust for Scotland.
The landscape here is one of dramatic contrasts, with steep and rocky upland, grassy lowlands and wild coastline. As well as the fossil tree, there are a number of other volcanic features, and the area is rich in plants and wildlife including species-rich grasslands, waterfalls, golden eagles, feral goats, red deer and rare moths.
