Things to do

From Fionnphort (one mile) you can explore the Ross of Mull, catch the ferry to Iona, or take a trip on a smaller boat to Staffa (Fingal's Cave). In summer the boats also go to Lunga where you can see puffins at their nest-sites (May to the end of July).

Fionnphort

Fionnphort, on the tip of the Ross of Mull, is an ideal centre for exploring the Ross of Mull itself, and for visiting the islands of Staffa (Fingal's Cave), Lunga (for bird-watching) and, of course, Iona. With a population slightly over 150 (including the surrounding area), Fionnphort has just one pub and one shop with post office. The Keel Row (pub) serves excellent food; it is often very busy, so it's better to get there early.

How to get here

The principal car ferry runs from Oban to Craignure (Mull). There are up to six sailings a day in summer (Easter to mid-October). In winter, two to four sailings per day, according to the day of the week. Other ferries run to Mull from Lochaline (Morvern) and Kilchoan (Ardnamurchan).

Maolbhuidhe is about 50-60 minutes drive from Craignure. Follow the signs for Fionnphort / Iona ferry. More detailed directions
