Day Two
We walk to the enchanting
settlements of Killean and Gualachaolish and learn about the
way of life in days gone by. We enjoy the magical views over
Loch Spelve and hope to catch a glimpse of the white-tailed
sea eagle hunting on the moorland above. The afternoon walk
descends to an old burial ground and ruined medieval chapel
with panoramic views over Duart Castle to the Sound of Mull
and Loch Linnhe.

Day Three
A climb along the ridge
between the Mishnish Lochs and Loch Frisa takes us up to the
rounded summit of Speinne
Mor where we enjoy breathtaking views of Tobermory, Ben More,
Coll and the Small Isles.
A steep descent leads us down onto the shore path of Loch
Frisa where we watch out for eagles, hen harriers,
red-throated divers, kestrels, buzzards and ravens.

Day Four
This circular
walk around the silver sands of Calgary Bay is dotted with
stirring ruins, and provides an opportunity to visit the
deserted township of Inivea, once home to the crofting
ancestors of the actor David Tennant. Calgary is one of the
island's most photographed locations with its shimmering white
shell sand beach and craggy headlands - home to a rich variety
of birdlife and the haunting ruins of stone forts and
abandoned villages.

Day Five
A morning walk
takes us along the nature reserve trails of Tireragan to
Traigh Gheal where flowering plants abound, primroses bloom in
the woodlands and many beautiful orchids favour the damper
ground. An afternoon walk takes us onto Erraid, the tidal
island where David Balfour was stranded in Robert Louis
Stevenson's 'Kidnapped'. On a clear day, the Treshnish Isles,
Staffa, Rum and Skye are visible.

Day Six
After a leisurely
breakfast, return to Oban via the ferry and enjoy the last
magical views of Mull. But, you may well cancel all your plans
and further your stay on this enchanted isle, as there's still
so much to see and do! |
