Where
are we?
|
| |
The
Isle of Mull is in the Inner Hebrides, in Western Scotland.
It benefits from regular ferry links, the
45minute crossing from Oban being the most popular. However,
visitors may prefer to come across from the Morvern peninsula on the
Lachaline ferry or from Ardnamurchan to Tobermory.
