Reasons to visit
Curving round a sheltered bay Tobermory is an ideal holiday location for wildlife watchers, hill walkers, seafood enthusiasts - and families. It’s also a great place to base yourself for exploring other areas of the island, whether on bike or on foot.
Mull has many things to enjoy, including coastal and woodland walking, scuba diving and pony trekking. From here you can visit the Isle of Iona, sometimes known as the 'Cradle of Christianity' in Scotland, or take a trip to Staffa to see this geologically amazing island which inspired Mendelssohn to write 'Fingal's Cave' (The Hebrides overture).
Mull has 300 miles of dramatic coastline, from unspoilt beaches to historic castles and mountain peaks, waiting for you to explore by car, bike or on foot.
Take time to discover:
- Fresh local seafood at Café Fish in Tobermory
- Travel to Iona and visit the Abbey
- Go puffin watching on the Isle of Lunga
- Walk to Tobermory Lighthouse
- Enjoy a wee dram at the famous Tobermory Distillery
- Whale watching trips with Sea Life Surveys
