Guided Wildlife Walks and Holidays on the Isle of Mull, Iona and Ulva

The Isle of Iona, with its population of 90, was where St. Columba landed his coracle in 563AD bringing Christianity to Britain. The island is separated from Mull by the mile wide stretch of water, the Sound of Iona. The Caledonian MacBrayne ferry, the MV Loch Buie, runs frequently from Fionnphort on the south-western tip of Mull to Iona village. The journey takes approximately 5 minutes and is for foot-passengers and bicycles; only residents of the island are allowed to take their vehicles on to Iona.

Mull Magic offers twice weekly walks and custom tours on Iona including transport from Tobermory and Craignure. For further information and prices please click here.

Iona is home to the ruins of an ancient nunnery, a restored medieval abbey, and the reputed burial ground of 48 Scottish kings. It is just three miles long and one and a half miles wide so it is possible to walk around Iona in a day with plenty of time to spend in the Abbey and Nunnery. The coast is more rugged in the south with it's pebble beaches and secluded coves.

From Iona, it is only a short boat ride to the Isle of Staffa. The spectacular Fingal’s Cave, which is said to have inspired Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture, has a cathedral-like ceiling that rises 65 feet above the surface of the sea.
