 Isle of Mull

Isle of Mull, Scotland

Rating:
 

The Isle of Mull, Scotland's fourth largest island and one of the most accessible of the Inner Hebrides, offers families endless days of exploration and discovery. Tobermory, the capital of Mull, is a picturesque small town with colorful buildings that crowd around a peaceful bay. Fans of the Cbeebies series, Balamory, will squeal with delight when they spot the homes of PC Plum and Suzie. Families interested in nature and wildlife should travel west to Dervaig high along the island's inner mountain spine. And if large sea life or history is your fancy, partake in a whale watching tour or sightseeing cruise and in addition to discovering seabird havens such as Fingal’s Cave on the island of Staffa, visit Iona, the birthplace of Celtic Christianity.

 
Getting there
 
The Isle of Mull is a 40-minute trip by ferry from the port of Oban.
Getting around
 
The best way to tour Mull is by foot or by car.
When to travel
 
The best time of the year to visit the Isle of Mull and the Inner Hebrides is in spring and early summer from April-June. In the peak season, July-August, not only are there crowds, the weather is once again fickle. It is just as likely to be hot and sunny as it is cold and wet.
Things to keep in mind
 
Dress in layers. In Scotland, the weather can change several times in the course of a single day.
