The Isle of Mull

Something for Everyone
The Isle of Mull is one of Scotland’s most diverse and beautiful islands, located off the west coast in the Inner Hebrides. It’s known for its vibrant landscapes, colourful waterfronts, and rich wildlife. Mull has something for everyone—from mountains and beaches to historic castles and lively villages.
One of the island’s highlights is Tobermory, its charming capital, famous for the bright, painted buildings that line the waterfront. Tobermory has a little bit of everything: quirky shops, art galleries, seafood restaurants, and, of course, the Tobermory Distillery, where you can sample local whisky and gin.
Mull is also a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. The island is one of the best places in Scotland to spot white-tailed sea eagles—the largest bird of prey in the UK—and you might also catch sight of otters, seals, and red deer. Boat trips from Mull offer the chance to see dolphins, minke whales, and puffins, especially in the summer months when the nearby island of Staffa and the Treshnish Isles are bustling with birdlife.
For history lovers, there’s Duart Castle, the ancestral home of Clan Maclean, perched dramatically on a clifftop with stunning views over the Sound of Mull.
Mull combines natural beauty with culture and history, making it a perfect escape for anyone looking to experience Scotland’s wild landscapes and welcoming communities. Whether you’re here for the wildlife, the whisky, or the walks, Mull is sure to leave a lasting impression.
