Music and Arts on Mull
An Tobar Arts Centre
Established by a group of committed individuals in 1997, the Tobermory An Tobar Arts Centre has grown to become a vibrant centre for visual arts, craft and music, promoting innovative and creative work at the heart of this island community. Watch live music, see a film or check out the gallery for the latest exhibition.
Mull Theatre
Mull now has a brand new production centre and the touring MULL THEATRE is one of Scotland’s foremost touring theatre companies. It makes a significant contribution to the cultural life of its own island community and throughout Argyll and Bute as well as to the overall provision of theatre activity within Scotland.
Mendelssohn on Mull
The Mendelssohn on Mull Festival festival brings the best young professional musicians together with their more accomplished counterparts in the inspiring surroundings of the Inner Hebrides, where music has to be made and then performed under pressure.
Visitors are invited to choose from a wide range of concerts and recitals, or to sit in on rehearsals at the Aros Hall in Tobermory. Mozart, Warlock and Wolf are also on the musical agenda, in locations as diverse as Iona Abbey and Torosay Castle.

Visitor Attractions on the Isle of Mull
Duart Castle
Duart Castle, on the Isle of Mull in Scotland is the ancestral home of the Clan Maclean.
Standing proudly on a clifftop guarding the Sound of Mull,
Duart enjoys one of the most spectacular and unique positions on the West Coast of Scotland.
Duart Castle and its grounds are open to the public from
March to October. There is a carpark, and the byre just
below the Castle has been converted into an unusual and attractive tearoom and gift shop.
Iona
A trip to Iona makes for a wonderful excursion from Mull with regular ferries between Fionnphort and St Ronan's Bay. One
of Scotland's most historic and venerated sites, lona Abbey
is a celebrated Christian centre and the burial place of early Scottish kings.
Glengorm
Glengorm Castle is about 4 miles from the centre of Tobermory, along the Glengorm road. The drive is scenic and
a wonderful place to view a summer sunset.
The Coffee Shop has a wide range of beverages and home
made food - some of the best cooking on the island and often using produce from the castle's own garden.
Whale Watching
Whale watching, wildlife and sightseeing boat trips on a daily basis from the Isle of Mull, ideally situated to cruise the inner hebridean waters and seek out the magnificent minke whale and other cetaceans that inhabit these waters.
Staffa
Staffa is a small, uninhabited island of the coast of Mull and
is a geological wonder with stunning basalt columns similar to those found in the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. Staffa was famously visited by Mendelssohn who was
inspired by the sound of breaking waves in Fingal's Cave. Today, as well as admiring marine life on the journey there
and back, you can see puffins whilst exploring the island by
foot and a walk into Fingal's Cave is a must.
Isle of Mull Spa and Pool
Overlooking Craignure Bay, you can experience breathtaking sunrises and sunsets as you unwind in the outdoor hot tub or take a dip in the indoor swimming pool surrounded by
floor-to-ceiling windows. For some dedicated pampering,
you can choose from a selection of beauty treatments.
