ISLE OF MULL
2024
When I visited the Isle of Mull the first time in 2023, I was already planning a longer stay with Bob in May and June of 2024. We extended the trip to include some time in Fort William beforehand and Cumbria afterwards. We were away just over three weeks and we had a fabulous time with yet more amazing wildlife experiences. Some of my favourite photos are here, but you'll find more in the blog posts.
