Isle of Mull

Landscape

Mull is the second largest island of the Inner Hebrides, covering approximately 337.97 sq. miles, with ruggid terrains, rocky hills covered with ferns and beautiful far views. A landscape that allows visitors to become one with nature and leave behind all the stress of every day life.

Origin

Mull is originally a vulcanic island. MacCulloch's fosillized palmtree provides evidence that once there was a subtropical climate on Mull. You can trace Loch Scridain on the map along the line of Lochs (Loch Ness, a.o.) that designates the vault line, where land collided and Scotland's mountaineous terrain was created.

Community

Mull has 2,667 inhabitants (in 2001), who live scattered over the island in small communities like Bunessan, Pennyghael, Salen, Dervaig, Fionforth and Craignure. Mull's biggest town is Tobermory, which is also the capital. The easiest way to travel around is by car along Mull's single track roads, but there is also a bus service. You can reach Mull by ferry from Oban or Lochaline.
