Sea and golden eagles, otters, deer
and a range of sea creatures including
seals, dolphins, porpoises, basking
sharks plus the birds and animals of the
mountains are all accessible on walks
both on the islands of Kerrera and Mull
and around the town of Oban.
An excellent walk is a circuit of the south
end of Kerrera clockwise along the coast.
Scenically beautiful, you’ll find a lot of
historical and geological interest. The
sheltered Sound of Kerrera gives way to

islands of Seil and Scarba, followed in

Castle, with its prominent silhouette
backed by the
hills of Mull across the
wide Firth of Lorn.
Turning north gives yet more new views
towards the
Isle
of Lismore and the hills beyond lining
the long,
straight
rift where Loch Linnhe leads towards
the
distant Great Glen.
There are a number of low level walks from the town
of Oban offering views over Oban Bay towards Mull.
The Caledonian Forest Park Reserve covers much of
the Lorn area to the east of Oban and there a number
of enjoyable way-marked walks throughout. The
famous Isle of Mull also offers a number of forest and
coastal areas to attract the walker. |
