Places to see in ( Isle of Mull - UK )
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.

LIFE IN SCOTLAND | SCALLOP DIVING WITH GUY GRIEVE | TRAVEL VLOG
Aaaand we're back!
Check out this epic adventure. I teamed up with Visit Scotland, and Wild about Argyll to live a day in the life of a Scot.
After a plane ride to Glasgow, a camper van to Argyll, a boat to the Isle of Mull, and a long drive to a little white house on a Loch, I met Guy Grieve.
This man is amazing. He spent a year solo in the Alaskan Wilderness, another year sailing around the world, and now dives to the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean several times a day, hand gathering scallops for his baby, the Ethical Shellfish Company.
My assignment was to join him on a typical day out at sea, SCUBA diving in very cold water, with very strong currents. We would be
I was tested to the MAX, and left with a serious appreciation and attraction for this style of fishing. Our hands were the fishing equipment, and we did no damage to the ocean because of this. This is such a better way of doing things than the mass harvest of shellfish.
Join us as we jump in the cold north Atlantic in search for treasure!

Diving on the wreck of the SS Thesis (Mull)
The Thesis was an iron built cargo vessel constructed in Belfast by McIlwain, Lewis and Co. and launched in January 1887. Some of her forward hull plating was probably lost in the original wrecking incident in 1889, but more plates have fallen away from her ribs since that date. The loss of large sections of her iron skin allows light to stream into the vessel, and gives the wreck a magical quality.
The site is subject to strong currents that have encouraged colonisation by a range of filter feeders. Over the years the outline of the wreck has been softened by a heavy encrustation of marine life, which includes sea-firs and soft corals. The Thesis today also acts as a sheltered haven for fish, including wrasse and conger eels. It is, therefore, no surprise that she is one of the most atmospheric dive sites in British waters, and consistently listed amongst the top ten British wreck dives.
This was a dive as part of a one week trip to dive the Sound of Mull with Bushey Divers (busheydivers.org) on Sound Diver II (lochalinedivecentre.co.uk).

Hurst Ferries, Solent Rose acts as temporary replacement Hythe to Town Quay 17/05/13.
Hurst Ferries small ferry is seen here as a temporary replacement for the regular Hythe to Town Quay ferry service which is normally done by Great Expectations as she is laid up at for the time being undergoing some maintainence.
Solent Rose is not an ideal size to carry many passengers but the main thing is it is not really ideal for any passengers with impaired mobility as there is a very high stepping point on and off the ferry.
Hurst Ferries operate from and around the Hurst Castle area near Milford on Sea which is near Lymington in Hampshire.
Day 3 - Loch Ness to John O' Groats (L.E to J.O.G)
Day 3 of the Project Zenz Land's End to John O' Groats Challenge see's the team driving from Loch Ness to John O' Groats and then starting their journey back down. Once they reached J.O.G Mingz evidently lost his sanity.

A39 Bath to Falmouth entire length time lapse
A journey from Bath to Falmouth along the entire length of the A39 road in South West England. The road starts at a roundabout to the west of Bath and heads to Wells and through Glastonbury, then crosses the M5 to Bridgwater then follows the North Devon coast around Minehead and Lynton and to Ilfracombe. The road then turns south to Barnstaple and heads into Cornwall, going close to Newquay. A short gap where the road joins the A30, before turning off around Truro and heading south to Falmouth where the journey ends.
Unfortunately, the part of the journey that skirts around the steep hill heading west out of Lynton was closed by the police when I did the road, so I had to make a U-turn and go the quicker route up the hill, joining the A39 again a couple of miles later. Hopefully this doesn't spoil the video too much!
