Day 4 Scottish Road Trip: Oban to Tobermory, Mull 21/03/16
Selected video clips and photos of Day 4 of our 2016 Scottish Road Trip. Today we started in Oban, visited McCaig's tower and then got the ferry to Craignure, Mull. We then drove down to Duart Castle and took the single track road to Fionnphort and visit Iona. However we missed the ferry by 5 mins so we turned around and headed for Salen on the coastal road. We stopped at Burg, a National Trust Reserve, and enjoyed a great walk before continuing on to Tobermory for the 1st of 2 nights staying there.
Some great roads, scenery, wildlife and activity. Enjoy!!

What's On Scotland
Take the Isle of Mull Ferry. Well, three ferries really.
Apart from the isle of Mull ferry to Oban, there is the Fishnish to Lochaline Ferry and the Tobermory to Kilchoan Ferry.
For tourists travelling up the west of Scotland the isle of Mull ferry going to Graignure, offers a wide range of new destinations to explore. The ferry will allow you to tour the isle of Mull spending time in places like Tobermory which would please the youngsters no end. Especially if they were fans of the TV program Balamory.
This is not to say that all the tourist passengers will be disembarking at Craignure. No, no, they will stay aboard the ferry to enjoy the beautiful views once more on their return back to Oban. This works out cheaper for them and provides a sail while taking in the scenery.
For those embarking at Craignure there are coaches waiting to take passengers to all the different areas of Mull. Some of these coaches will take them to where they can catch another ferry to Staffa and enter Fingal's Cave. Plus take them to Iona where they can learn about the birthplace of Christianity in Scotland. The abbey and museum are well worth a visit as is Iona itself.
If you have heard about the isle of Mull railway and planning to see it, then you can save yourself some time as it has now been discontinued. It would actually be a good idea to check what trips and tours are still on when booking your island of Mull ferry trip to avoid disappointment.
Of course if you have brought your car onto the island you will then have the freedom to explore further afield. These routes on Mull are just for starters as there are more than just one ferry crossing to isle of Mull.
After driving off the ferry at Craignure, it's only a short drive up the road before you arrive at Fishnish. From here the ferry crosses the Sound of Mull to Lochaline on the Morvern Peninsulas allowing you to drive a different route north to Fort William and beyond.
To get to Fort William the Corran ferry will take you across the narrow stretch of water of Loch Linnhe to Corran. It runs at regular times up to around 9. 30 in the evening, so there is no need to book.
If you want to take in Tobermory before heading north you could carry on past Fishnish to Tobermory to stay overnight on the isle of Mull or just spend a few hours there. From here you could catch another connection, this time the Kilchoan to Mull ferry which takes you onto the Ardnamurchan Peninsula.
It's always wise to check out all of the isle of mull ferry times when planning your tours. Especially if you're running to a tight schedule. There is so much to take in and often you will find that you want to stop and take some images of the beautiful scenery.
The Mull to Kilchoan ferry will allow you to explore Ardnamurchan, skirt Loch Sunart and drive up to Mallaig on a route perhaps you have never done before.
The Kichoan and Lochaline ferries allow those with a car the opportunity to see places that so often are missed when sticking to the main routes driving north. These new areas of Morvern, Ardnamurchan, Sunart, Ardgour and Moidart will all be opened up to the traveller. For many it will be fresh new vistas and all because they decided to take the isle of Mull ferry from Oban.

Iona is located just off the Isle of Mull's south west tip. Most people staying on Mull make the journey over to Iona at some point during their stay and this little video shows you a little of what there is to see.
The Isle of Iona plays an important role in the history of christianity. Iona Abbey can be visited and tickets are bought on the island.
There are some amazing beaches on Iona and we look at a few of these, as well as Dun I the island's highest point.

Mull is the second largest island of the Inner Hebrides, off the west coast of Scotland in the council area of Argyll and Bute. With an area of 875.35 square kilometres (337.97 sq mi) Mull is the fourth largest Scottish island and the fourth largest island surrounding Great Britain (excluding Ireland). In the 2011 census the usual resident population of Mull was 2,800 a slight increase on the 2001 figure of 2,667; in the summer this is supplemented by many tourists. Much of the population lives in Tobermory, the only burgh on the island until 1973, and its capital. Tobermory is also home to Mull's only single malt Scotch whisky distillery: Tobermory distillery (formerly Ledaig).
It is widely believed that Mull was inhabited from shortly after the end of the last Ice Age, around 6000 BC. Bronze Age inhabitants built menhirs, brochs and a stone circle with examples of burial cairns, cists, standing stones, pottery and knife blades provide compelling evidence. Between 600 BC and AD 400, Iron Age inhabitants were building protective forts, duns and crannogs. Whether or not they were Picts is unclear.
In the 6th century, Irish migrants invaded Mull and the surrounding coast, establishing the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata. The kingdom was divided into a number of regions, each controlled by a kin group, of which the Cenél Loairn controlled Mull and the adjacent mainland to the east. Dál Riata was a springboard for the christianisation of the mainland; the pivotal point was AD 563, when Columba, an Irish missionary, arrived at Iona (just off the south-west point of Mull) and founded a monastery, from which to start evangelising the local population.
Mull has a coastline of 480 kilometres (300 mi) and its climate is moderated by the Gulf Stream. The island has a mountainous core; the highest peak on the island is Ben More, which reaches 966 metres (3,169 ft). Various peninsulas, which are predominantly moorland, radiate from the centre.
The Aros peninsula to the north includes the main town of Tobermory, which was a burgh until 1973 when burghs were abolished. Other settlements include Salen, Dervaig and Calgary. The Ross of Mull lies to the south west and includes the villages of Bunessan, Pennyghael, Uisken and Fionnphort. Lochbuie, Lochdon and Craignure lie to the east.
Numerous islands lie off the west coast of Mull, including Erraid, Inch Kenneth, Iona, Gometra, and Ulva. Smaller uninhabited islands include Eorsa, Little Colonsay, the Treshnish Isles and Staffa (of Fingal's Cave fame). Calve Island is an uninhabited island in Tobermory Bay. Two outlying rock lighthouses are also visible from the south west of Mull, Dubh Artach and Skerryvore. The Torran Rocks are a large shoal of reefs, islets and skerries, approximately 15 square miles (39 km2) in extent, located two miles (3 km) to the south west, between the Ross of Mull peninsula and Dubh Artach. Frank Lockwood's Island near Lochbuie is named after the brother-in-law of the 21st MacLean of Lochbuie, who was Solicitor General from 1894-5.
Ferry links to Mull from the mainland include Oban to Craignure (approx. 45 minutes), Kilchoan to Tobermory (approx. 35 minutes) and Lochaline to Fishnish (approx. 15 minutes). Advance bookings are not required for the Kilchoan or Fishnish ferries; access to those two ferry terminals on the mainland side is via single-track roads.
There are ferry links from Fionnphort on Mull to the neighbouring island of Iona and from Oskamull to Ulva. In past years there were direct sailings to Oban (calling at Drimnin, Salen, Lochaline and Craignure), and to Barra, Coll and Tiree from Tobermory. During the summer there was also a sailing to Staffa and Iona from Oban which called at Tobermory. The Isle of Mull Railway ran from Craignure to Torosay Castle, but closed in 2011.
