Isle Of Mull

Cared for by the National Trust for Scotland. Escape the everyday, and discover a beautiful island of distinctive rocks, magical caves and seabirds. See the famous hexagonal rock columns, formed millions of years ago by volcanic eruptions, enjoy a puffin-spotting picnic on the top of the island, or listen to the astonishing acoustics of Fingal’s Cave.

This little island (0.5 miles long and 0.25 miles wide) off the west coast of Scotland looks like it may be from a different planet. Years of waves crashing against its unmistakable rock columns created the magnificent Fingal’s Cave, which inspired Felix Mendelssohn to compose his celebrated Hebrides Overture.

Experience the amazing sounds in the natural temple of the cave and then, in summer, watch the antics of the puffins that nest in burrows on top of Staffa’s high cliffs. The small cave at Gunna Mor (‘the cannon’) creates a dramatic and thunderous noise when waves strike the cliff below.

Staffa was hardly known until 1772, when the botanist Joseph Banks highlighted the wild, natural beauty of the island. It soon became a must-see location. Famous visitors have included Queen Victoria, Lord Tennyson, Jules Verne, Robert Louis Stevenson and John Keats; all fell under the island’s spell.
