Ferry to Mull

Ferry number 3 on this trip, this time taking me from Oban to Craignure on the Isle of Mull.

The weather was what the locals would call 'Driech' : Wet, dull, gloomy, dismal, dreary or any combination of these.

Craignish Peninsula

Scottish Novelist, Naomi Mitchison wrote of a visit to Craignish with her family: "We are up here in an incredibly beautiful place thirty place from a station, all very Celtic, islands and sunsets and sea lochs of blue paint. The gentry are rather alarming - those narrow cruel Highland faces, mouths and eyes a little twisted and arrogant and something too delicate and inbred about their hands and skin. But the farmers are capital red heads and very jolly to talk to, rather less dour than my own coast"

Loch Craignish

Loch Craignish is a sea loch on the mid-Argyll coast between Oban and the Crinan Canal. Its opens into the Sound of Jura and provides a safe anchorage for small craft.

Several islands lie within the loch, the largest being Eilean Rìgh, Eilean Mhic Chrion and Island Macaskin.
