Nearby Islands - Iona, Staffa & Treshnish

The mystical Isles of Iona and Staffa and the Treshnish isles are readily accessible from Mull. 

Iona lies off the south western tip of Mull and is home to the restored St Columba Abbey and Nunnery where it is said that 48 Scottish Kings including Macbeth are buried in the Chapel-like tombs. Alternatively, play a round of Golf on Iona’s 120 year old and most challenging course.  

Staffa (believed to be the eastern end of the giants causeway) is also located off the south western tip of Mull, is small (only 1 mile long and ¼ mile wide) but has developed a reputation and huge fascination from many visitors. Its volcanic rock formations “Staves” are awe inspiring and give the island its name. Over the centuries a magnificent 227 foot sea cave has been formed from basalt pillars “Fingal’s Cave”, where Mendelssohn was inspired by hearing the theme of his “Hebrides overture” in the sound of the sea.

The Treshnish Isles host a multitude of wildlife in their natural habits including seals, otters and seabirds including puffin colonies watch them take of and land on the cliffs in front of you.

Days out to Staffa, Iona and the Trishnish Isles to view the spectacular scenery, caves and wildlife, can all be arranged from the Bellachroy.
