The magic of the wild Isle of Mull
I have always been drawn to Scotland for many reasons, mostly the diverse range of wildlife. It has also been a great source of soul searching over the last few years and it still fills me with excitement every time I visit.
Otters and White Tailed Eagles will and always does takes your breath away. Over many years and thanks to the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation the reintroduction has been a huge success across the regions.
The isle full of so much beautiful and hidden gems, the fun is going off and exploring them. You will be astounded by the such diverse array of wildlife, Loch's, woodlands and just breathtaking scenery.
There are so many places to list, the best advise, just go and explore.
You must respect the wildlife - there are very strict rules in place to protect the wildlife so please respect it!
Always remain a safe distance, do not disturb any wildlife, do not chase wildlife!
