Explore an island fringed by rugged basalt crags and white-sand beaches, where brightly colored waterfront cottages and medieval castles stand watch over the sea.

The Isle of Mull contains centuries of myth and history amid its vivid landscapes of pink-granite beaches and velvet-green hillsides. Crowned by the peak of Ben More and bordered by stunning bays and beaches, the largest of the islands of Argyll has been inhabited since the last ice age and is speckled with fascinating historical sites. Discover ruined castles and magnificent mansions overlooking charming hamlets and soaring sea cliffs.

Stroll along the waterfront of Tobermory, the island’s main town. The brightly painted façades of the waterfront cottages are reflected in the still waters of the natural harbor. You’ll find the Mull Museum here, as well as an arts center, an aquarium and restaurants serving the island’s fantastic local produce, including cheeses and smoked salmon. Stop by the distillery to sample two different single-malt whiskies.

Uncover some of Mull’s enduring heritage and head to Loch Buie to see a Bronze Age stone circle and a ruined medieval castle. From the Iron Age, you’ll find fortified duns and crannogs. Duart CastleOpens in a new window is a beautifully preserved 13th-century castle that holds the history of one of Scotland’s oldest clans.
