The Isle of Mull and Iona
The Isle of Mull (or just 'Mull') is the second largest of the inner Hebrides with a land area of 353 square miles (875 sq. km). The population is about 2,800. The 'capital' is the village of Tobermory, at the North end. Mull is home to the only Munro (hill over 3000 feet) that requires a ferry crossing. Come over to Mull for unspoiled landscapes, pristine beaches and a wildlife extravaganza.
Come over to Mull for the culture, the coloured houses of Tobermory, the history and the geology. There's more to see and do on Mull...And plentiful accommodation: Hotels, Bed and Breakfasts, Self-catering cottages, campsites and hostels.

Five Star Award-winning Mull Eagle Hide re-opened on 25th March
In 2012 the Mull Eagle hide moved to a new and exciting location in Glen Seilisdeir. After a very succesful season, both for visitors and eagles, the hide received the VisitScotland Wildlife Attraction Five Star Grading, one of only two such ratings in Scotland. The hide re-opened for 2013 on 25th March. Booking is essential. Further details may be obtained from the Visitor Information Centre, Craignure 01680 812556. Find out more
This year's first visitors (pictured outside the hide's visitor centre, above) came as a result of seeing the Ray Mears programme earlier this year (see below)

Martin Hughes-Games, BBC Autumnwatch Presenter
said of his trip to Mull:
I can honestly say I haven't seen so much wildlife, in such a short space of time - ever!
Now is a really brilliant time to go up there and watch wildlife. There are three reasons for that. One is the midges aren't there! The second is there are fewer people so it's much easier to get around. And the third thing is that the days are much shorter and the animals have to pack in their lives into a much shorter space of time. So they're more obvious. They're feeding, they're playing.
SPRINGWATCH returns to BBC in May
We look forward to seeing you on the Isle of Mull soon,
