Scenic Wonders of the Isle of Mull

Carsaig Arches, on the south coast of Mull may be reached (from Carsaig) by a rugged four mile walk (each way) below towering cliffs. Well worth it, but go prepared for rough ground and any weather. See feral goats, the nun’s cave and (perhaps) eagles, en route.

The Outdoor Guide is compiled and produced by the Ranger Service. Copies are available free from the Visitor Information Centres in Craignure and Tobermory, and you can probably pick one up at your accommodation too.

Two versions are provided on this web site. One to view, and one which you can print A4 size (back to back) to create an A6 leaflet when folded. You may need to adjust the margins to suit your printer. The print becomes a little small, but if you have an A3 printer you can make a full-size leaflet, A5 when folded

Ulva is a privately owned island with a thriving population of approximately 16 people who are involved variously in traditional sheep and cattle farming, fish farming, oyster farming and tourism. There are no tarmac roads on Ulva, so no cars, just the 4 wheel cross country bikes used by all inhabitants, young and old.

Loch na Keal National Scenic Area (NSA) embraces the coastline on the West of Mull, from Gribun cliffs to Ulva and Loch Tuath and also includes Inchkenneth, Staffa and the Treshnish Isles. NSAs are designated by Scottish Natural Heritage as areas of outstanding natural beauty.

There's a road around the entire shore of Loch na Keal, so you can easily see it all. Visit Staffa and Lunga (one of the Treshnish Isles) by boat from Ulva Ferry or Fionnphort.
