The Isle of Mull may not be a tropical paradise yet this island off the west coast of Scotland offers families endless days of discovery. Tour the brightly colored town of Tobermory. See standing stones, duns, brochs and castles. Take a train trip from Craignure to Torosay. Play on silver sand beaches. (Calgary Bay and Ross of Mull, as the island's westernmost finger is called, are the favorites of islanders.) Cruise coastal roads. Hike hills. Walk shores. Ferry to Iona and glimpse the birthplace of Celtic Christianity. Take a boat trip to Staffa or Treshnish Isles and watch birds. Spot seals at Laggan Sands near Lochbuie. Hoping to catch sight of something larger? Embark on a marine safari. Or head to Cailleach Point, Carsaig or Ardnamurchan Point and observe cetaceans from shore.
