The islands of IONA AND MULL, off the coast of Oban on the West Coast of Scotland are popular for those who want to dosomething different. On the way to and from these islands you may be lucky enough to see whales, dolphins orporpoises, a truly wonderful sight. 

Maybe visit Torosay Castle on the Isle of Mull, a beautiful home set in 12 acres of well tended gardens or Duart Castle, situated high on a hill, (you can see it when you sail over from Oban).

Iona is a tiny island only 3.5 miles long is thought to be the first Christian site in Scotland; here we visit the monasterywhich dates back to the year 563AD.
