How Mull’s eagles will make your heart soar!
Mull has the highest density of nesting golden eagles, the UK’s second largest bird of prey.
Immerse yourself in Iona
Dreamy Iona sits less than a mile off the south western-most tip of Mull. This tiny island, a cradle of Christianity in Great Britain, is a place of pilgrimage for many. Visit the ruins of the medieval abbey, established by St Columba when he arrived here from Ireland in his coracle in 563.
The medieval nunnery is utterly absorbing. You can easily explore the rest of the island on foot, including the stunning sandy bays at its northern tip. As you explore you'll discover Iona's wonderful flora and fauna. Soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the views.

Mull & Iona Food Trail
The idea behind the Mull and Iona Food Trail, launched in 2015, is gloriously simple; a map and trail that helps you ‘eat your way round the islands with us’. As well as Mull and Iona those islands include Ulva, Gometra and Erraid, with the mainland Morvern Peninsula making a cameo too.
Getting Here
