The Isle of Mull

Mull, Ulva, Gometra, Iona and Erraid

Guidebook describing over 40 walking routes on Scotland's beautiful Isle of Mull, as well as neighbouring Ulva, Gometra, Iona and Erraid. Walks range from 2 to 16 miles and from short circuits to demanding mountain traverses, but without technical difficulties. The Isle of Mull is wild, rugged and great for wildlife spotting.

Seasons

walking possible throughout the year, although the winter months call for winter mountaineering skills and equipment on the higher mountains

Centres

Tobermory; smaller settlements at Dervaig, Salen, the ferryport Craignure, Bunessan and Ffionphort, the ferry point for Iona; accommodation plentiful, but camp sites and budget hostels few and far between

Difficulty

few technical difficulties; walks cross rough, trackless terrain requiring walkers to be properly equipped and able to use map and compass

Must See

Mull's only Munro, Ben More, and a fine cast of lower heights; great glens for linear walks as good as anything on mainland Scotland; spectacular coastline; wildlife
