In 1309 it was captured by Robert Bruce. The castle was then turned over to the Campbells in 1470. It was also where Flora MacDonald was held prisoner for assisting the escape of Bonnie Prince Charlie. Following our visit we continue to the fishing port of Oban. Overnight in Oban.
Dinner is provided tonight along with full Scottish breakfast tomorrow morning.
Sail early this morning from Oban over to the islands of Mull and Iona. Your first stop, Mull, is an island of peaceful moorland glens and dramatic peaks, little crofting villages and home of clan McLean. Your tour coach will take you across the island to the port of Fionnphort to catch a boat to Iona. On the sacred isle of Iona you can see the Benedictine Abbey which is supposed to be built on the site of the original community established by St. Columba fourteen centuries ago. Return to Mull from Iona, and board your waiting motorcoach which will take you across by ferry to Oban.
