Glenaros Lodge Hostel, Isle of Mull, Scotland

The Isle of Mull and the neighbouring island of Iona lie just off the west coast of Scotland, in the United Kingdom.

They are silent, lonely islands of rushing, tumbling burns, high peaks, dramatic views, waterfalls, wildlife, history and atmosphere.

According to your interests, the islands of Mull and Iona can be a wilderness awaiting discovery, a sporting paradise, a haven of peace and relaxation or simply a charming and beautiful centre for a Highland holiday away from the cares and pressures of modern life.

Ferries cross to the island at three points: Oban, Lochaline and Kilchoan. Booking is required during busy summer months on the Oban ferry, however, the other two are not possible to book, and places are normally available when required. The Lochaline crossing is a cheaper option and is used regularly by locals.

This is a diverse area of rich culture and contrasts. For those who love nature and the outdoors, it offers forest parks and colourful floral gardens, beautiful islands each full of individual character, and abundant wildlife. For lovers of history, there is an unparalleled range of historic sites including castles, monuments and historic houses where Scotland\'s turbulent past, clan heritage and rich history will delight the visitor. You can take to the seas to explore the rugged coast of Argyll, or take a more relaxing cruise on some of the most famous lochs in Scotland. Your can even visit many of the area\'s internationally famous distilleries to see how our national drink is made. Whatever your interests, you\'re sure to have a packed fun holiday.
