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.

The Mull eagles, Frisa and Skye, have appeared on Autumnwatch, and soon to be on Bill Bailey's Birdwatch Bonanza.  Watch out for them.  Also, have you seen Gordon Buchanan's film "Eagle Island"?

There are bird watching tours and sea trips to delight you, and we have the only public viewing hide to see white tailed eagles in the world.

One of the most popular trips is to go to Staffa, to see Fingal's cave made famous by Mendelssohn'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.
