Mull | Tobermory from the distillery |
The island of Mull is a beautiful island barely off the West coast of Scotland. It is the second largest of the Hebridean Islands. You can reach it by a big ferry from Oban or by smaller ferries from points further north. It has a lovely road that goes around it and some wonderful towns, most notably Tobermory, which has very brightly painted houses facing the harbour. Tobermory has recently become popular due to a British childrens TV show Balamory that features characters and buildings from the town. It also has a great whiskey distillery which I don't believe is featured in Balamory :-) |

hunterV Wed May 27, 2009 17:23 UTC I see you've had a nice stay... Thanks for your story about that remote place worth visiting...><>< | nickandchris Thu Jun 8, 2006 10:49 UTC Wonderful. Hoping to go in July. | frank_delargy Thu Feb 24, 2005 04:07 UTC The island of Mull is different from the Mull of Kintyre, which is a part of the Scottish mainland near Campbelltown, not too far (maybe 40 miles) from the Isle of Mull. | littlesam1 Sat Feb 19, 2005 23:53 UTC Beautiful photos. Is the the same Island of Mull that Paul McCartney sang about in Mull of Kintyre back in the 1970's? |
