With only a small but growing number of exceptions, paths are not waymarked or signposted. Many of the mountain paths, however, are cairned. In a constantly developing environment like Mull, changes often occur to routes, especially through forests (where trees are felled), or on coastal walks (as a result of landslip, for example). See the Advice to Readers box at the front of the book for information about how to let Cicerone know of any changes that you come across for the benefit of future walkers.

INTRODUCTION

The north of Mull boasts little in the way of significant upland; the highest point, Speinne Mòr, rises to a mere 444m (1456ft). But what it does have is a bounty of coastal walking – some of the finest on the island – and quite an array of woodland and moorland walks. There are only two important settlements here – Tobermory and Dervaig – three if you include Salen, which sits on the arbitrary boundary between north and central Mull.
