  • Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
  • MAY 2023: Dougal, Ted, and I joined our friends Andi and Petra in their Bürstner Motorhome for a few relaxing days in the Isle of Mull.
    We kick off with the ferry sailing from Oban to Craignure with Caledonian MacBrayne, or CalMac Ferries. calmac.co.uk/
    We stay at Fidden Farm Campsite in Fionnphort: fiddenfarm.co.uk/
    We decide on a couple of daytrips, the first of which to Iona where we take the ferry from Fionnphort to Iona. Iona is the place where St Columba brought Christianity to Scotland. Once in the island we take a nice walk before exploring Iona Abbey and then Iona Nunnery.
    The next day we head to Ulva, but were surprised to find that there was no ferry on a Saturday, which is not mentioned on the website (you have to look on Facebook instead which is not convenient if you don't have a Facebook account.) www.ulva.scot/
    If you ever visit Scotland, do take the time to visit the Isle of Mull.
    00:00 - Arrival at Calmac Oban Ferry Terminal
    00:15 - Crossing with CalMac from Oban to Craignure
    02:37 - Driving in Mull: Craignure to Fionnphort
    04:34 - Fidden Farm Campsite, Fionnphort
    05:50 - Daytrip to Iona, Iona Abbey
    11:40 - A drive around Mull, Waterfall, Tobermory
    15:07 - Last evening at Fidden Farm Campsite, Fionnphort
    All music is from the exceptional Scottish Musician Cameron MacKay: www.cameronmackay.co.uk/

    Andrew, a million thank yous from a simple carpenter here in Central Virginia USA. My ancestors hail from the Isle of Mull, being a "McClain".
    Now, into my 60's, I'm unsure if I'd ever make it onto the Isle, but something stirs as I watch these vids traveling about in a land far away. Very inviting and pastoral for sure. Each one I take in, I anticipate William Wallace coming up along one of the ridges, shaking his fist about in defiance of tyranny & roaring FREEDOM !
    Interesting learning some ancient history concerning the start of Christianity there. I'm a (huge) Geo. MacDonald follower, his works, and these sights connect me to the landscapes described in his many works.
    Very nicely done short stories, I'll look for others. Many blessings on your travels. 👍✌️

    What a jewel this video is. Andrew, you're such a wonderful human soul. Thank you for creating this beautiful video and sharing this brief moment in time with us. I laughed out loud when Ted was trapped momentarily by the water. How kind and wonderful Petra and your friends are. Such splendid humans, with such kind and loyal animals and a beautiful surrounding. 10/10 for the video, I cannot wait to return to Scotland, my peaceful favourite place.

Petra clearly also one of the jewels, the way she naturally included you in the food/ full service, reminds me of the hospitality of times past. And wonderful to see Ted & co, him getting trapped by a wave momentarily and having fun playing [and sleeping].

Great location but facilities are inadequate when busy like this. That said haven't most of the vans and caravans got their own facilities? A word for the seafood shack at the Fionnphort ferry terminal...just great 😋

    We were Scottish Island Camper Van virgins until we went to Mull some years ago. I wouldn't say that the roads deteriorate as you get further from the port, they just relax into typical single lane island roads with plenty of passing places with people who know how to use them.
    The fish and chip van on the pier at Tobermory provided on of the best fish & chip suppers we've had anywhere. I think that the twice weekly 'pop up' chippy at Pierwall on Westray, Orkney is the only one to beat it but if you go there make sure you either order in advance or allow plenty of time as it seems that half of the population of the island get their dinner there on a Wednesday or Saturday evening.

    In the early ‘60’s, my father bought an old Manse on Mull, at Kinlochspelve, near Lochbuie in the South of the island. We had no electricity, Tilly lamps, and a well for water. No pier at Craignure then, a boat came out to collect you and any livestock coming ashore. Mull was, and is, still magical and very unspoilt.

    Mull and Iona, what a magical combination. Mull for its stunning scenery and amazing wildlife, and Iona for its rich history - I am not in any way religious but on the few occasions I've been on Iona I really can sense "something" about the island - there is a serenity and feeling of relaxation that I can't fully explain.

    Well that brought back wonderful memories of last September and the holiday to Mull, staying at Pennygowan. The trip to Iona and out to Staffa which was out of this world and beyond my wildest dreams. I think I would have to go a long way to top that. The sea was incredibly calm and serene. Later this year Orkney or Lewis and Harris beckons……
    Dogal and Ted seem to have bonded well, even though I expect they have their moments.
    Enjoy your travels

    Great video Andrew. The grub looks good too.
    Did you have to buy coffee and cake for the pooches?
    You'd think somebody would tell you about the ferries but I guess the locals already know and giggle at the tourists.
    Went to a nunnery but there were nun. (Sorry) 😂😂😂

      I drive an EV with Vehicle to Load - my car is basically a 220v 77kW/h powerbank! And there are chargers near the campsite. Enjoy your trip!

    Dear Andrew, thank you for the wonderful video. I have some questions about your trip. What time in the year do you recommend to visit Mull and Scotland in general if coming the long way from Germany? Are there enough possibilities to recharge the ev on those small islands and rural areas? And last is it a good idea to take the bicycle there to enjoy the country from the saddle? Greetings from Germany also to both of your boy’s.

      You cannot go wrong with May and June. There are plenty of EV chargers - do an internet search for 'Zap Map' in the UK. Thanks for watching, Andrew.

    Hi just wondered can you walk from the campsite to the Iona ferry? Is there parking there for a small motorhome at the ferry?

    • @andrewjditton
      @andrewjditton  Рік тому

      Hi Shelley, there is paid parking by the pier, free parking 200 yards away, or you can walk the 1.5 miles each way if you are up for it. We drove ;)

    Can you take folding push bikes to iona Andrew, is it a good idea for that location and if you can, how much for pedestrian and bike ?

    • @andrewjditton
      @andrewjditton  Рік тому

      Yes, or even full-sized bikes Steve. Check out the CalMac website for up to date prices. Cheers!
