mull

Iona 's close neighbour,The Isle of Mull, lies just off Oban on the west coast of Scotland. Mull is a silent, serene, beautiful island of rushing, tumbling burns, high peaks, dramatic views, waterfalls, wildlife, history and atmosphere. 

From Oban, on the mainland, where many visitors arrive on their way to Mull and Iona, the seaward view is dominated by the rocky peaks and green slopes of the Mull mountains. 

Dependent on your interests, both the islands of Mull, and Iona too can be a wilderness awaiting discovery, a sporting and walkers' paradise, a haven of peace and relaxation or simply a charming and beautiful centre for a really different Highland holiday in Scotland well away from the cares and pressures of modern life. 

Tobermory, recently made famous by 'Balamory' is the main town on the island and is well known because of its quaint and picturesque multi coloured shops and houses on the waterfront.  It is the starting point for many wildlife trips and has many superb shops and restaurants.

Tobermory is the starting point for many wildlife trips both on land and sea. In recent years, whale and dolphin watching has become very popular and the Whale and Dolphin Trust has its survey centre and shop on the main street. Tobermory also has a museum, distillery, golf course and many smaller attractions.
