Tobermory Harbour

Highlight • Settlement

This gorgeous coastal village marks the capital of the Isle of Mull, one of the islands that make up the Inner Hebrides. Built as a fishing village in 1788, Tobermory has rows of brightly coloured houses that give this place great character.

Today it's a well-loved tourist attraction, featuring the Tobermory Distillery and was the setting of children's TV show Balamory. You'll find plenty of places to eat, drink and stay here, as well as gorgeous shops filled with local arts and crafts.

Eas Fors Waterfall

Highlight • Natural Monument

Eas Fors Waterfall is one of the most spectacular waterfalls on Mull, situated just off the B8073, a couple of miles North of Ulva Ferry. There are captivating views across Loch Tuath to the island of Ulva.

View of Ulva and Ulva Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

The Isle of Ulva was, in past years, the home of 600 people, who made their living from the collection and exportation of kelp. Today there are under 20 residents who make a living from sheep and cattle farming, fish farming, oyster farming and tourism.

There are no tarmac roads on Ulva, so no cars, just the 4 wheel cross country bikes used by all inhabitants, young and old. The new owners are dedicated to creating a balance between the needs of the community and the preservation of one of Scotland's most unique, beautiful and accessible islands.

Calgary Bay

Highlight • Beach

As the road hugs the coast you are rewarded with a glorious view of Calgary Bay. The white sands and clear water are very inviting. If you have a few moments to spare I thoroughly recommend taking time to relax in this idyllic place.
