We leave Arran in the morning, taking the ferry from Lochranza to Claonaig. From there, we drive north to Oban and then take another ferry across to Craignure on the Isle of Mull. Finally, we’ll drive west across the island to the town of Tobermory, where we’ll spend the next few nights. The drive isn’t all that long, but will take us most of the day, one way or another.
Arran has been great, really great. We’ve seen a lot of the island and even found time today to take the children to a swimming pool. We’ve seen deer, seals and birds of prey.
The weather has been very good and we feel as if we’ve experienced several seasons over the last few days.
The food, too, has been excellent. The Scottish diet, in general, really agrees with me, which isn’t to say it’s entirely healthy, but who can resist Ayrshire bacon, black pudding and apple bruschetta for breakfast? I don’t even really like black pudding, but it tasted very nice here.
I hope Mull is as nice as Arran.
