The 5 Best Things to do for Honeymoon in Isle of Mull, Scotland
A trip to the Isle of Mull isn’t complete without a visit to the Tobermory Distillery, one of the oldest distillers in the country, and a snort of their single malt Scotch. Mull was first settled around 3000 B.C., but thankfully much of the island’s rustic natural beauty has been preserved. Explore the deep-sea cavern of MacKinnon’s Cave, try to solve the mystery of the Lochbuie stone circle and play royal at the 13th-century Duart Castle.

We arrived on Staffa in near perfect conditions, the place is a must see with the rock formations and the bird life, the added bonus for us was a pod of bottle nosed dolphins on our way to the island.

For over 700 years, Duart Castle, the seat of Clan Maclean, has dominated the view to the Sound of Mull and Loch Linnhe with its huge curtain walls and solid keep. Tour the Castle, explore the grounds and learn more about the Clan. Enjoy the ancient Keep, ghostly Dungeons, magnificent Banqueting Hall, quaint Edwardian State Rooms and breathtaking views from the Battlements. Duart Castle was featured in a number of Hollywood films such as Sean Connery's, Entrapment (1999), "When Eight Bells Toll" (1971) with Antony Hopkins and "I Know Where I'm Going" (1945). The Castle is open from April through to October every year and hosts a number of Weddings and Events throughout the summer months such as Outdoor Theatre, Military Re-enactments, Music, Storytelling, Birds of Prey and Scottish Pipers and Highland Dancers. Travel to Mull via the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry from Lochaline to Fishnish or from Oban to Craignure. Duart Castle is a 10 minute drive from Craignure.

Calgary Bay was a real surprise. The beach is quiet and large. To the right are huge rocks which are fun to climb and along the bay is a jetty within walking distance from the car park. The beach has really interesting sediment deposits which make for lovely black and white photos.

Recently visited Tobermory and paid a visit to the Distillery. Located close to where the bus from Craignure arrives all was straightforward, tour booking, tasting etc. Informative tour explained all aspects of the production process of Tobermory and Ledaig Whisky. The process of malting and peating was explained in detail and the guide talked through all the processes involved in a working distillery for the production of Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Also included was a brief insight into the distillery’s new Gin (‘diversification’) ???? flavoured with local botanicals from the island flora. The tasting at the end of the tour was most enjoyable with a wide choice of whiskies to sample - all with their individual character. The distillery shop is well stocked with the signature malts Tobermory 12 and Ledaig 10 (Ledchig - I think that’s the correct pronunciation) along with other ages. The shop also had a good variety of whisky glasses, and other goods from clothing to confectionery and of course the Tobermory Gin. Thanks to one and all for an enjoyable tour, tastings and of course shopping experience.
