Lochan a’ Ghurrabàin, Aros Park

Cross the car park, heading towards a small toilet block, just past which you find another path taking you back among the trees. This path, too, soon divides. Go left, climbing gently, and quickly arrive at a T-junction with the Aros Burn a few strides in front of you, and the lower waterfall and footbridge a short distance down to your right. If you want to extend the walking a little, then at the T-junction you can turn left and walk up beside the burn, crossing a main trail, and continuing to the upper waterfall. There are linking paths to get you back on line, but the simplest expedient is to return to the lower waterfall.

Cross the footbridge, and retrace your steps to Tobermory.

WALK 1.2

Rubha nan Gall

Start Tobermory car park (NM 505 551) Distance 5.2km (3¼ miles) Ascent 180m (590ft) Terrain Woodland paths across steep slope; golf course Map OS Explorer 374 Isle of Mull North and Tobermory

The brightly coloured houses of Tobermory are a delightful prelude to this mainly woodland walk to the lighthouse at Rubha nan Gall, the Headland of the Stranger. Although you can simply return the same way, there is an agreeable alternative that climbs up onto the headland and then treks around the edge of Tobermory’s lumpy but beautiful golf course.
