Tobermory (Isle of Mull)

Still on the Isle of Mull, enjoy the sites and sounds of Tobermory. This quaint fishing village was built in the 18th century and is filled with brightly painted buildings. In summer, the bay buzzes with fishing boats and yachts, and the long, warm evenings bring the streets to life.

Dervaig

Experience country driving at its best by taking the steep, windy track to up to Dervaig. Established in the 1700s, Dervaig is home to one of Scotland’s most unusual churches and also to the Old Byre Heritage Centre and the Mull Theatre – apparently the smallest professional theatre in the UK.

Salen

Calgary Bay is a short drive from Dervaig and offers spectacular sea views along with the best swimming on Mull. From Calgary, head inland towards Salen making sure you stop by at Aros Castle. Aros dates back to the 13th century and features remarkable remains of its stone hall house.
