The Isles of Mull, Iona, and Ulva, tucked away on Scotland’s rugged west coast, offer a rich blend of colourful architecture, delicious food and stunning scenery.
Though each island has its own unique character, Iona and Ulva are closely connected by short ferry rides making them easily accessible from Mull. From the white sandy beaches of Iona, to Mull’s colourful harbour town of Tobermory and dramatic landscapes, to the untouched wilderness of Ulva, this trio offers an unforgettable authentic island experience. I’ve enjoyed visiting these islands with my family since I was 3 years old, so I’m really excited to show you all the best bits.
This digital guide is here to make planning your trip simple and enjoyable. You’ll find everything from transport details, handpicked places to eat to practical travel tips and my favourite place to stay on the island. There’s also an interactive, annotated map you can access straight from your phone to help you explore the isles with ease.
This itinerary offers a blend of island classics and off the beaten path locations across Mull, Iona and Ulva. You’ll experience a bit of everything, from stunning beaches and classic colourful houses to winding single track roads and delicious foody hot spots.
