Ferry from Mull to Ulva
Ulva
Bit cloudy so decided to get the one minute ferry to the privately owned island of Ulva. Taz was not at all sure about getting on the boat! There are a variety of walks up to 5 hours long on the island with only 16 inhabitants (used to be 600 before the highland clearances). We opted for a 2 hour coastal and woodland walk but due to a lack of signposts soon ended up off piste again. Still it was an enjoyable experience on a very quiet island where cars are not allowed and the few residents make their way round using quad bikes.
After a sandwich at the boathouse cafe we caught the ferry back (with a quaking Taz).
Drove to Salen where we found fresh scallops, £10 for a dozen massive things, so crusty bread and garlic butter is all we need for tonight. Stopping at Craignure at the most expensive site yet, £23 per night, but it is nothing special. Must go now to cook the scallops!!!
