Mull & Mull

Stunning island great food be with local driving it’s relevant for the island. Absolutely worth a visit

This place was astoundingly beautiful and our visit to Tobermory didn't disappoint. There are plenty of stunning viewpoints and beaches, and it was the hottest day of our trip,so we indulged in a little dip to cool off. The ferry journey over from Oban to Mull was great but went by too quickly. There was also free parking everywhere we went, which was awesome ???? ???? ????

Having grown up with a love of the spectacular Scottish countryside, I had always wanted to visit one of the Western Isles. It was around 2015, after a particularly difficult few years, that I got my chance to revisit the area that had formed the basis of a few childhood holidays. I headed up to Oban and, while I was there, took a trip over to Mull. Mountains, rushing river, lush woodland... beautiful place to wander and explore.

Spent 3 days on Mull based at Port Nan Gael. Wish it had been more. Loads of lovely wee villages with great restaurants cooking some wonderful local produce. A lot of local art centres and galleries situated throughout the island mean you are never far away from one. If you are a cyclist, walker or runner then there are plenty of trails, single track roads, hills and parks across the island and away from the busier roads. If you are into water there are lochs and sea lochs galore to use. The views around the island are simply amazing and worth a visit on there own. Midges can be a problem across the Highlands and Islands but I didn't find them too bad on Mull, perhaps due to the wind keeping them at bay. Otters Sea Eages and Eagles can be seen on Mull and tours can be purchased. Whale watching tours are also available as well as trips to the uninhabited island of Staffa. There are Calmac ferry's for those wishing to visit Iona which is another lovely smaller island a 10 minute ferry ride from the South end of Mull.

Perfect island for touring by car/camper or tent. So much to see and do with locals that are welcoming, always. Single track roads cover 90% of the island so advise not bringing a 6m+ motorhome if it can be avoided.
