Mull and its neighbouring islands, Iona andUlva, are gems of Scotland'sInner Hebrides, and havens for walkers. Mull, the largest, entices with enchanting forests,cascading waterfalls, quiet lochs, and a dramatic coastline where white-tailedeagles soar. Iona - smaller, gentler - holds history and spirituality in equalmeasure, with trails leading to some of Scotland's most sacred spots, whilstUlva, community-owned and a short ferry ride away, offers village ruins, cliffsand moorland to explore. Walks on Mullhave something for everyone. Starting at Tobermory's colourful harbour, acoastal path leads to the Rubha nan Gall lighthouse, where stunning views spanthe Sound of Mull. Trails through Aros Park wind past lushforests and plunging waterfalls, while the tranquil shores of Loch Buie andtrails at Quinish Estate promise solitude. CalgaryBay's white sands and Art in NatureTrail capture Mull's creative spirit, whilehides at Fishnish tempt with sightings of otters, porpoises and dolphins. Ulva'strails meander through woods and beside caves and cliffs, while Iona's gentler paths lead to St Columba's Bay or theabbey, both steeped in legend. The adventure starts with a ferry from Oban toCraignure; additional crossings from Lochaline and Kilchoan provide alternativeroutes. Buses link Craignure and Tobermory to the ferries for Ionaand Ulva, making these islands accessible without a car.
