Come aboard for a short trip around the beautiful Scottish Inner Hebridean islands of Iona, Lunga, Staffa and Mull, accompanied by some carefully chosen music! The islands are even more stunning when the sun shines, as it did in June 2019! We started in Oban on the mainland, got a ferry to Mull and then drove across the single track road to Fionnport for the ferry to Iona. This tiny island is the crucible of Christianity in Britain. You can walk to St. Columba's bay where the saint landed in the 6th century and visit the rebuilt abbey. After the day trippers have gone you have Iona all to yourself, with stunning sunsets on the West coast and beautiful walks and beaches. You can also sail from there on the ketch 'Birthe Marie' with skipper Mark Jardine. We went along the Burg coastline of Mull and landed on tiny Inch Kenneth. A visit to Lunga and Staffa is a must-do, with their Puffins, spectacular bird colonies and amazing rock formations. Mull is blessed with superb scenery, wildlife, beaches and quirky places to eat and relax, with narrow roads that circle the island and show you the best. And you can climb Ben More, Mull's only Munro with views that make the slog worthwhile! If you want to fly yourself to Mull there is an airfield at the Glenforsa Hotel on the East side where 'air traffic control' is behind the bar and you can watch the planes while you eat!
