A paradise in the Highlands is maybe a clever way to describe this piece of earth.

It is one of the obligated visits to do when in the North of Scotland. What is most impressive about the island is the calm and tranquillity that brings to everyone that visits it and, of course, to the people that live there. It is a different rhythm, a completely distinct way of live.

If you visit the Higlands you can cross to Isle of Mull by ferry with the car. This will help you move around and will allow you to see various places in just one day.

Tobermory was built as a fishing port and it is now the main village on Mull. It is a picture-postcard place with the brightly painted buildings along the main street, the pier and the high wooded hills surrounding the bay.

The Isle of Mull is also an ideal for viewing the wildlife of Scotland.  Species include whales and dolphins, eagles, otters, birds of prey and many other mammals. You just need to keep your eyes wide open and we assure you will see at least one of those.

Nature is one of the main attractions and it will not disappoint: wonderful beaches with white sand and crystalline water or a walk up the highest mountain in the Isle (Ben More) will be specially enjoyable if the weather is nice.
