Isle of Mull

It is no co-incidence that the local Gaelic anthem – The Isle of Mull – contains the words “……of isles the fairest…..” Mull, the second largest of Scotland’s Inner Hebrides is a large, beautiful and scenically diverse island within a relatively easy reach of Scotland’s principal cities and airports. Known to some of our European cousins as the Last Wilderness, Mull offers stunning scenery and abundant wild-life as well as easy access to the “satellite” islands of Iona and Staffa – both, of course, famous in their own right.. MULL is also a place for complete peace and quiet, should that be what you seek away from the pressures of urban living…

THINGS TO DO

Should the above not have whetted your appetite or helped you decide, then the first question has to be – do you really want to do anything in particular when you get here? Mull is the ideal spot to rest, get away from it all or just go for a leisurely drive along our uncluttered single-track roads (one roundabout, no traffic lights, mainly free parking) and……admire the scenery! More energetic than that? Then get in a bit of hill-walking, take a boat trip, climb Ben More (our only Munro, for people who know about such things!), Chill out, admire the scenery and just listen to the silence. Oh yes, you can…

WILDLIFE

If you ever wanted to see a golden eagle or a sea eagle  or an otter, there is every chance that your wish will come true on Mull. Birds of prey abound on Mull – hen harrier, short-eared owl, peregrine falcon, merlin and, of course, our eagles with their wing spans of up to nine feet – big birds, you could say, and magnificent with it. Red deer on land and various cetaceans at sea – porpoises, dolphins and basking sharks are commonly sighted on the sea trips organised locally.
