Tigh an Solas Bed and Breakfast

The Isle of Mull has something for everyone. Whether you are happy with taking life a little slower by strolling through the hills and mountains, or maybe you'd rather get a little closer to nature and go whale watching, we have it all. Below is a just a taster of what you can expect to see on your visit....

Wildlife on Mull

Mull is really noted for its Birds of Prey and is one of the best places in the UK to see Golden Eagles and White-tailed Eagles.  The island is home to Red Deer and there are also two herds of Fallow Deer, one near Killiechronan and the other at Lochbuie. Otters can be more difficult to spot but we recommend you take a wildlife tour with one of the local experts and this should enable you to spot these creatures for the remainder of your holiday.
Walks on Mull

There are many walks on Mull from Ben More, the island's only Munro standing at 3169 ft, to delightful short walks taking in fabulous beaches and haunting ruins of old settlements. There is a fabulous easy walk from Tigh an Solas down Glen Forsa to a memorial cairn. This commemorates a Dakota crash on Ben Tailaidh in 1945 where 3 crew members died and five survived. If you would prefer a Guided Walk please contact Mull Magic Tel: 01688 301213
