The Isle of Mull The second largest of the Inner Hebrides, Mull is a highly accessible island, being reached by a forty-five minute vehicular ferry from Oban.Services from Lochaline on Morvern and Kilchoan on the Ardnamurchan peninsula are also available.There is a small airstrip at Glenforsa suitable for private aircraft and a main line train service from Glasgow to Oban with some trains connecting with the ferry.

The Isle of Mull boasts extraordinary and diverse scenery.From the dramatic Gribun cliffs and the shark-fin peak of Ben More to the white sands of The Ross, Mull has undoubted appeal for all. A multitude of sea lochs give Mull over 500km of coastline to be explored by kayaks, yachts and divers, or on land by foot or mountain bike.The awe inspiring landscape is home to a vast range of wildlife, including golden eagles, sea eagles, otters and seals.

Due to its size and diverse range of attractions, Mull has a longer tourist season than many of the other Hebridean islands, continuing to receive large numbers of visitors well into October. The island also hosts a number of music and arts festivals throughout the year.
