Local myths, legends and history
Centuries of invading peoples, warring families, religious happenings and inter-clan squabbles make for Mull's colourful and intricate history. It is no wonder then that many a tall tale was passed by word of mouth to successive generations, but which ones were based on tangible facts? The legend of Tragedy Rock? Dumpy Murdochs reasonable revenge? Or the headless horseman named Eoghann a Chinn Bhig (Ewen of the Little Head)? You'll have to join us to find out! Read more...
Isle of Mull
The Isle of Mull is a beautiful place. It is the second largest island of the Inner Hebrides (after Skye) and some archaeology suggests it has been inhabited since around 6000 BC. Scattered over impressive landscapes are hundreds of prehistoric, medieval and more modern ruins, which hint at a turbulent past. Combine Mull's long and captivating history with her wild rocky coastlines, white sandy beaches and abundant wildlife and it will be hard to board the ferry and leave at the end of your stay.
