Top Things to do in Isle of Mull
Top 10 Nature & Parks 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.

5. Mull Willow
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 57 reviews
Mull Willow offers the unique opportunity to spend some time on a small working willow croft (farm.) The croft is nestled between between sea and mountains - the bay and the sea flank you on the South and West, and to the East lie the magnificent Burg and Ben More. It's a wonderful little place for nature lovers to visit. In the past, willows were grown on every croft, and the willow was used extensively in both fishing and agriculture. Later, these traditional skills started to die out as plastic took over. Now, we grow around three thousand willow plants and together they provide over a quarter of a million rods. It's a real pleasure to take time and wander amongst the growing willow. Please visit our website for more info.

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.

10. MacCulloch's Fossil Tree
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 26 reviews
The standing fossil of a 12metre (40 foot) high conifer tree, engulfed in molten lava, was discovered in 1819 by Scotland’s pioneering geological cartographer, John MacCulloch. As the surrounding basalt cooled, distinctive columnar patterns were formed. Further north on the peninsula are some 200-million-year-old Jurassic rocks – unique in Scotland.
