The walks in this book are widely varied in character and will provide something for everyone, embracing high mountains, lonely lochs, coastal cliffs, glens and forests. Many walks visit places that are less well known, where self-sufficiency is critically important. But every walk is just that, a walk, and does not require rock climbing or scrambling skills beyond the most fundamental; ironically those skills are more likely to be tested along stretches of the rugged coastline than on the high mountains.

All parts of the island are visited, and the chosen walks will provide an excuse for many visits to the island, and allow walkers to evade inclement weather in one part of the island by taking on walks in another.

Each walk description begins with a short introduction, and provides starting and finishing points, as well as a calculation of the distance and height gain, and an indication of the terrain which will be encountered. The walks are grouped largely within the generally recognised regions of Mull, and, within those areas, in a reasonably logical order.
