On our second attempt we reached the Isle of Mull and what a gem of a place it turned our to be! We took the ferry from Oban to Craignure on another calm day.

We drove down a very narrow road to Loch Bui that was recommended to us by two different people. Its quite a remote place but does have a small cafe. However, when we arrived we found a mobile pizza van was warming up its oven - what a result! We ordered, went for a walk and came back to a lovely pizza!

Tobermory, the main town on Mull, is known for its colourful houses along the bay. It was very picturesque and we enjoyed mooching around the town and yet another cup of tea and scone. We never knew scones were a thing in Scotland!

We had a chat with the captain of the Blue Clipper
and learnt it is no where near as old as it looks |
 |
We watched all the rich cruisers being ferried to the
pontoon - the cruise liner was the Seabourn Venture
which costs a fortune to go on! |

Mull is quite a wild island with mostly single track roads and loads of wildlife so its great demounting Muy and having the truck to explore this rugged island.
We took a short ferry to the religious island of Iona. A beautiful island where we explored the Abbey and went for another swim in what looked like the Caribbean, until we felt the water temperature of course - very cold, but fun! We dried off sitting on the warm rock and watching some Gannets spear the water in front of us in search of a meal.

We heard the Corncrake at this hotel
while we had tea and scones - again! |
Back on Mull we spent our time on some more lovely walks before we had to leave and go back to the mainland.
