If you have always wanted to see a Golden Eagle or a Sea Eagle or an Otter, there is an excellent chance that your wish will come true on Mull. The Isle of Mull is a wild, mountainous and incredibly beautiful Hebridean island with a coastline of approx 300 miles. It is reckoned by many to have the most varied scenery in the whole of Britain. The wildlife and, in particular the bird life, is extremely diverse. Birds of prey abound on Mull - Hen Harrier, Short-eared Owl, Peregrine Falcon. Merlin and, of course, two of the mightiest birds of prey of all, the Golden Eagle and the White-tailed Sea Eagle with its wingspan of almost nine feet! Red Deer and Porpoise can all be seen at certain times of the year, as can Dolphins and Basking Sharks. We have included below a few related links for your interest: Torrbuan Wildlife Expeditions.

Places to visit do not come much more romantic than the beautiful Hebridean island of Mull with its fabulous scenery, abundant wildlife, away-from-it-all feel and slow pace of life. And on the Isle of Mull, places to stay do not come much more romantic than the award-winning Highland Cottage. We offer a genuine welcome, 4-Poster beds, great dining and wellwhat more could a genuine romantic desire? And, of course, if the great outdoors is not your thing then just
lounge around, curl up with a good book (we have 100's) or watch a
video. Just look out the window from time to time to remind yourself where you are!
The first question is - do you really want to do anything?? Mull is an ideal spot to rest, take it easy and just chill out. Fancy a bit more than that? Then take a drive around the
quiet island roads (no traffic lights, one roundabout), enjoy the sights and marvel at the scenery. Fancy a bit more than that? Get in a bit of hill-walking, make the day-
trip to Iona. visit Staffa and the Treshnish Isles, commune with the puffins. Even climb Ben More, one of Scotland's Munros for those who know about such things. We would normally suggest a minimum 3-night stay as being a realistic and sensible stay on Mull.
