Driving slowly is not an issue, in any case there are few places where you can safely put your foot down. No-one minds how slowly you drive, as long as you let others pass; in fact, the slower you drive, the greater the likelihood of spotting something interesting. Do not park in passing places, not even briefly; they are not viewpoints. Bear in mind, too, that the nature of the roads on Mull means that you will be doing a lot of slowing down and starting off again. This means increased wear and tear on brakes and tyres, as well as increased fuel consumption.

Accommodation

Tobermory is the main town, and offers a range of accommodation from hotels to guest houses, B&Bs and a youth hostel. Elsewhere, and generally across the whole island group, there are guest houses and B&Bs in good number. Camping and caravan sites are few and far between – see Appendix C for details. All main facilities are available in Tobermory, including the island’s only static bank (the Royal Bank of Scotland has a mobile banking service). Elsewhere, the facilities are intended primarily for locals rather than visitors.
