Overview
The Isle of Mull is the second largest of Scotland's Inner Hebridean islands, renowned for its diverse landscapes, rich wildlife, and charming coastal communities. Located off the west coast of mainland Scotland, Mull offers a quintessential Scottish island experience, from the vibrant, brightly painted houses of its main town, Tobermory, to dramatic sea cliffs, white-sand beaches, and rolling moorlands crowned by Ben More, its only Munro.
Mull has earned a global reputation as a premier wildlife destination, particularly for its impressive populations of raptors, including both Golden and White-tailed Sea Eagles (the UK's largest bird of prey). Its coastal waters are also rich in marine life, making it a fantastic spot for sea-based wildlife tours. Beyond its natural beauty, Mull boasts a deep history, with ancient castles, standing stones, and close ties to the sacred Isle of Iona, offering a blend of adventure, tranquility, and cultural immersion.
