It was lovely. We drove though and stayed in a self-catering cottage. At the top of the pass on the little road to get to Mull and the far west of Scotland from Glasgow there is a little town called Rest and Be Thankful!<br />Made the steep walk down to the helicopter pad on Mull...and wish I hadn't! Just as steep to go up!<br /><br />If you can go to Campbeltown and walk out to Davaar Island at low tide it is magical! But do wear sturdy boots because you will turn your ankles a lot on the mussels. We saw seals in so many places around Campbeltown.<br />Sandy in the UK<br />(actually England)Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-2535797978055782342016-04-07T04:24:41.769+10:002016-04-07T04:24:41.769+10:00Fiona, I've read of residencies and workshops ...Fiona, I've read of residencies and workshops in the recent past taking place in the hostel on Iona. Every comment about them remarks on the special resonance of the island. Beautiful photos already and I am so glad you are getting this beautiful start to Spring migrating northwards. Sounds like a great start to the holiday!LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-36580011793163470732016-04-07T04:11:03.853+10:002016-04-07T04:11:03.853+10:00There are airports one couple of the islands...I d...There are airports one couple of the islands...I don't really do boats either but the trip to Mull is about 45 minutes in a very solid ferry, and from there to Iona it maybe 15 minutes. Islands are tough places to visit for those of us who don't enjoy boats, but I have hit on some good tablets which help.
