Mull, the second largest of the Hebrides, is easily accessible with a regular service from Oban.

The island is an island of peninsulas giving it a long and varied coastline that offers visitors endless days of exploration and discovery.The mountains that stretch across the middle of the island rise to over 900 metres and are particularly popular with hillwalkers. Mountain ranges in the south and the east are pierced by glens and waterfalls.

The population of around 3000 is well spread throughout the island, and the ferry terminals at Tobermory, Fishnish and Craignure are well used.

The island's main town of Tobermory is the setting of the CBeebie's series, 'Balamory'. As a result, Tobermory has become the top holiday destination for kids desperate to see the colourful houses where PC Plum and Suzie Sweet live.

Mull is home to a wide range of wildlife and is one of best places in Europe to see the Golden Eagle ( Aquila chrysaetos ) and White Tailed Sea Eagle. It also offers a home to the elusive European Otter (Lutra Lutra).

Organised Whale and Dolphin watching trips on which Minke Whales and Dolphins among others can be seen, are available on the Island.
