Cnoc Mor is the ideal location to
explore the beautiful Isle of Mull. We have so much
to offer visitors whatever your interests may be,
from our wild life to our breathtaking seascapes.
The Isle of Mull is home to the only White-tailed
Eagle viewing hide in the UK, we have an island
railway, Castles, Golf Courses, stunning white-shell
sand beaches. The list is endless.
Following are a list of some trips, tours and places
to visit that really should not be missed
Castles on Mull
Any visit
to the Isle of Mull is incomplete without
savouring the wealth of history and clan legend
at Duart Castle. Duart Castle, seat of the Clan
Maclean for over seven centuries, stands on a
rocky outcrop offering excellent natural
defences as well as fantastic panoramic views.
Torosay Castle and the ruins of Aros
Castle in Salen Bay are also worth a visit. There are many important historical
ruins on the island - forts, brochs and duns
can often be seen not far from the road. |

Beaches on Mull
There are many
spectacular white-shell sand beaches on the
island, many on the south coast within a few
miles drive of Cnoc Mor. You would be forgiven
for thinking you had taken a wrong turn and
ended up in the Caribbean. Calgary Beach on the
North West coast of the Isle of Mull may be a
longer drive but is well worth the visit. It is
probably one of the most photographed beaches in
Scotland. |

on
heather-clad moorland, along
picturesque lochs, glens and shimmering white
beaches. Both the famous Fossil Tree and Carsaig
Arches Walks are within a half-hour drive from
Cnoc Mor. If you need any advice on walking or
routes on the island please contact Ruth at Mull
Magic Tel: 01688 301213 who is happy to give

White-tailed Eagle Hide
Mull is the only
location in Britain where the White-tailed Sea
Eagles can be viewed from an organised hide,
which is manned by knowledgeable wildlife
rangers. The Forestry Commission Bird Hide has
been specifically designed for viewing the Isle
of Mull's celebrity sea eagles. The Eagle Hide
is now open all year but booking is essential. |

Isle of Iona
Iona was the
birthplace of Christianity in Scotland, here St.
Columba arrived in his coracle in 563AD. The
island is separated from Mull by the mile wide
stretch of water, the Sound of Iona. Many people
come to the island just to visit the Abbey but
why not
search for the elusive and skulking Corncrake,
one of Scotland’s rarest Summer migrants that
retains a stronghold on the island. There are
tours twice weekly which will collect you
directly from Cnoc Mor -
