The Craignure Inn, originally an 18th-century drover’s inn, has retained much of its original character. Mull used to have an extensive network of drover’s inns, with sheep being driven across the island to be shipped to Lismore and then on to mainland Scotland. The Craignure Inn features in the book Kidnapped by RL Stevenson, where it is referred to as the Inn of Torosay. Tel: 01680 812 305 www.craignure-inn.co.uk
