The Isle of Mull (Eagle Island) and the neighbouring island
of Iona - birthplace of Christianity in Scotland - lie just off the west coast
of Scotland in the United Kingdom.
The ferry, run by Caledonian MacBrayne, takes about an hour
from Oban on the mainland, and runs every two hours in the summer. There are
other ferries to Lochaline, and to Kilchoan.
Mull is home to many clans, including Macleans, Mackinnons,
Macquarries, MacDonalds and Macgregors. The castles at Duart , Aros and Moy
show testament to the olden days, while Torosay and Glengorm are Edwardian and
Victorian houses. Torosay has a fine garden.
The island is a wildlife haven with both golden and white
tailed eagles, red deer, otters, whales, dolphins, and basking sharks - not to
mention the corncrake which is making a comeback on Iona. There are bird
watching tours and sea trips to delight you. One of the most popular is to go
to Staffa, to see Fingals cave - made famous by Mendlessohn's Hebridean
overture.
From Mull you can go north to Skye and the Highlands, east to
Stirling and St Andrews, or south to Glasgow and Loch Lomond - now a national
park.
