TO MULL VIA LAKE DISTRICT & ARRAN
Just completed the annual pilgrimage to Scotland with the Family and dogs, and thought I'd share some of the spectacular scenery we encountered. Our journey takes us through the Lakes and up to Arran via the Ferry at Ardrossan. From Arran we cross over to the mainland at Claonaig and up to Oban and take the ferry to Craignure on Mull. We've never been to Mull before and have to say what a beautiful and stunning Isle it is. Plenty of offroading to be had, but beware the roads are tiny. They have bigger cycle paths in Milton Keynes!!!

Great photo's , and Mull is a great place, especially if the sun is shining. Went to Mull last year for the first time, was staying in the Inn at Ardgour so went from Lochaline to Fishnish absolutely stunning scenery and a great ferry crossing.

Been there a few times and love the place, I have dived all around Mull in my younger days. This is the place to take your camera, it brings back very good memories seeing these excellent pictures.

Was on holiday in Scotland last week and took the ferry to Mull. Also went over to Iona to see the abbey.
I love Scotland and we go there every year for a couple of weeks.I have something to say! It's better to burn out... than to fade away!

Great shots - outstanding scenery. Have to say I have a soft spot for Skye - and that brilliant local malt !!! Will need to get back soon and take in Mull.
