"The Isle of Mull in rain and sun" Strathclyde by CdnJane

No matter how dull the Bracken shines

While these pictures show Mull in rainy days, please be sure that I have been there in the beautiful sunshine. I just love the photographic contrasts in the grey, how the rusty colours jump out in the mist. I'll find some sunny day pictures of Mull, to prove it. I have been to Mull a half dozen times in all sorts of weather. Been out walking when as the Scots say, "They're having weather", when in the space of an hour or two there's been sun, rain, snow flurries, hail, and then sunshine again. Now, that's Having Weather!!!! But I do love the island of my family home.

Even the Rainy days are beautiful

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Get away from the rush and hurry of the cities... stop and see the heather and the bracken
  • Cons:Sometimes you can get a little wet
  • In a nutshell:Strathclyde - covers a large area from Glasgow into the Islands - Enjoy!

    Look like you didn't have much luck with the weather there. Castle is really charming... would like to stay there :-)

    Looks like the bull says no trespassing
