Isle of Iona Only 5 minutes over the sea from Mull sits this tiny island with its Abbey, now famous for its history relating to Saint Columba and Celtic Christianity. Isles of Coll and Tiree Off the west coast of Mull, these two small islands are right on the edge of the Atlantic. Tiree is a popular destination for windsurfing. Fort William A popular tourist town in the shadow of Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis. In an area full of history and marvellous scenery where Rob Roy and Braveheart were filmed, this is a good place from which to explore West Highland Way and Glencoe.
Skiing is available over the winter.
Famous scenic railway line. Its neighbour Raasay is well worth a visit too. You can also take the ferry from Skye over to the Western Isles or Outer Hebrides. Less than 2 hours by ferry from Skye or just a drive over the border from the neighbouring Isle of Lewis which can be reached by air. From Harris you can also sail over to the Uists.
