Isle of Mull by Maria Simcox

We had a truly spectacular holiday touring Scotland with our lovely dog, Barney, in September. We stayed in a fabulous dog friendly holiday cottage, Caol Ithe at Fionnphort on the west side of Mull, for a week and explored the whole island. A scenic ferry crossing from Oban, which allowed dogs inside and out and provides dog water bowls. The highlight was our amazing boat tour with Staffa Trips to Staffa Island, also very dog friendly, we saw a pod of dolphins and had an hour to explore this beautiful unspoilt island with hexagonal pillars and the famous Fingals Cave. The ferry to Iona was also dog friendly and the walks and beaches are stunning. We found pubs that allowed dogs and everyone was friendly. Mull is a walkers and scenery lovers paradise with waterfalls, lochs, sandy beaches, mountains, castles and wildlife, and wall to wall scenery, a perfect dog friendly holiday.
