Oban

The picturesque port town of Oban, the gateway to the Hebrides, sits on the water’s edge of the west coast.

Just outside the town you can discover the ruins of Dunollie Castle and on Loch Creran, the Scottish Sea Life sanctuary.

Tobermory

The capital of Mull, Tobermory is famous for its brightly coloured houses overlooking the harbour where you’ll find the working fishing boats and yachts. A great place for wildlife, keep a look out for otters, sea eagles and dolphins.

Oban

Leave the buzz of Oban on the mainland and take the ferry to arrive in the port of Craingure on the Isle of Mull. Enjoy the scenery during your journey across the Mull landscape to the spectacular cliffs at Ross of Mull. Head north and then hug the coastline to arrive in Gruline before heading up to the colourful capital town of Tobermory. Enjoy the harbour and surrounding area before heading back to Oban via Craignure.

Spectaclar Scenery

With miles of coastline, you can take in the sandy beaches and rocky cliffs against the backdrop of lush green countryside whilst enjoying the seemingly never ending sea views and some spectacular sunsets.

Wildlife Watching

The islands of Scotland are rich in wildlife – sea eagles and golden eagles wheel above you, on land you’ll find deer and mountain hare, in the water there are whales, dolphins and porpoises – and somewhere in between, if you are lucky you’ll catch the otters!

Whats the story, Tobermory

The picture postcard village of Tobermory is one of Scotland’s iconic sights – with brightly coloured houses proudly standing on the coast, along from harbour where you can watch the fishing boats land their catch.
