Since my first visit in the 1980s, the number of B&Bs on the island has risen sharply as has the quality. We were not to be disappointed spending a comfortable night in Craignure, 2 nights in Salen and finally one night at the wonderful Staffa House in Fionnphort.
We saw c80 species of bird ranging from the massive White-tailed eagle to the tiny Goldcrest and everything in between! We also had excellent sightings of Otter, Porpoise, Grey Seal, Common Seal, Red Deer, Fallow Deer, Mountain Hare, Rabbit and various insects - including the midge! There were also literally thousands of 'Jelly Fish' close inshore on Loch na Keal - a possible feature on the the forthcoming 'Springwatch' series.
If you haven't visited Mull or Iona, please do so - it is an unforgettable experience. Hopefully, the following photos might persuade you to giver it a try.
