Isle of Mull Guide Books for Wildlife Lovers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Birdwatching on Mull and Iona: A Pocket Guide<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Written by David Sexton, this guide book combines practical advice, fieldcraft tips and maps to open up the wilds of Mull and give you plenty of tips for what you can see and where to go. At 40 pages long, it\u2019s a great guide to tuck into your rucksack and take into the field with you, tapping into David Sexton\u2019s extensive knowledge of the island and its wild creatures, having been Mull\u2019s RSPB officer for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mull in the Making<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For a different take on Mull\u2019s wild landscapes, perusing a copy of Rosalind Jones\u2019s Mull in the Making will turn up plenty of interest. An exploration of Mull\u2019s dramatic and distinctive geological past that formed the island you see today, with its volcanic roots thoroughly examined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isle of Mull Guide Books for Walkers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mull and Iona: 40 Favourite Walks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A great wee starter guide to different walks on Mull and on Iona too, a short CalMac passenger ferry from the south-western corner of Mull. A good range of routes and abilities required, whether you fancy a coastal adventure or want to get high into the hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brown & Whittaker Walking Guides<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Check out the series of walking guides produced by Brown and Whittaker too, with editions to cover North Mull as well as South Mull and Iona. Pocket-sized again, they\u2019re great to take out and about with you, offering plenty of choice of inspiring routes to add to your itinerary, along with maps and illustrations to help you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harveys Map of Mull<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Admittedly not a book, but too good not to mention! The Harveys Superwalker map of Mull has to get our vote. It combines the entire island onto one map (whereas you\u2019ll need three OS maps to cover the same area), is waterproof and very convenient to take with you, whether spotting quiet coves to visit, or picking a hiking trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
