An Antipodean travel company serving World Travellers since 1983
Isle of Mull Scotland
The island of Mull is the second largest island in the Inner Hebrides (after Skye) and the most accessible of the archipelago. Of all the Hebrides, it has some of the most diverse scenery and magnificent flora and fauna. For lovers of the outdoors, it is a paradise with its verdant hills, gorgeous coastline and endless hiking opportunities. One of the best wildlife-watching destinations in Scotland, you might catch sight of basking sharks, dolphins, otters or seals as you walk along one of the island‘s many beautiful beaches. No matter your interest, Mull is sure to be an adventure.
Many people travel to Mull from the picturesque seaside town of Oban on the west coast of Scotland (just forty minutes by ferry) from Glasgow by train, but it is also possible to come from Kilchoan and catch the ferry to the captital of Mull, Tobermory. From Edinburgh, the journey to Oban takes around 3 hours.
