Top Things to do in Isle of Mull
Top 10 Sights & Landmarks 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.

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.

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.

Really highly recommended. Had generous scrumptious toasties in a quirky setting surrounded by vines, with friendly efficient service. Brownie and tiffin takeaway just divine. Will certainly be back when next in Mull.

Lochbuie is a beautiful mix of history, landscape and wildlife and there's an all new coffee shop too. There is a very good footpath that takes you past the tiny church, the castle and all around the bay where highland cattle mix with oyster catchers, rabbits and goldfinches pulling apart the thistles.

The Macquarie Mausoleum is a must for Aussies who visit the Isle of Mull. Easy to find and the walk along the drive to get there is very easy. 10-15 minutes is all you need to see everything.
