Mull lies of the west coast of Scotland. Capital of the island is Tobermory where there are good shopping and restaurant facilities.
No trip to Mull would be complete without the short pilgrimage to Iona, with its wonderful Abbey, created by St Columbus in 563 ad and the burial place of many Scottish Kings. A short boat trip from Iona is the island of Staffa with Fingal’s Cave, the inspiration for Mendelssohn’s music.
Jura lies a short ferry across from the flat, green, gentle island of Islay. Jura is a very different island. Mountainous, sparsely populated and left to nature, Jura is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, rich in red deer and birds of prey including eagles. The Paps of Jura dominate the island landscape and from here you can enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding islands.
The lochs and burns provide excellent trout fishing and sea angling is popular off the coast.
The infamous Corryvreckan Whirlpool off the northern tip of Jura can be a spectacular sight and sound. There are ruined castles at Clag and Glengarisdale, with iron age forts, standing stones and keills - evidence of the islands history. The village of Craighouse has a grocer shop, hotel and distillery which produces the distinctive Jura Malt Whisky.
