Moderator Gordon Buchanan comes from Mull and still has a home and home here. Today Mull is also known as the home of the CBeebies Balamory program, which is located around the colourful townhouses. There are three points where ferryboats sail across the island: Mull and Iona can be a wildlife waiting to be discovered, an oasis of tranquillity and relax or just a delightful and attractive center for a highland vacation far away from the worries and pressure of contemporary living.

In addition to the much-loved Mull and Iona web pages, we have compiled a number of other web pages for attractions from a Western Isles website to the Isle of Lewis, Harris, North Uist, South Uist, Benbecula and Barra.

The Mull ( "Muile"[?mul??]) is the second biggest island of the Inner Hewrides ( [after Skye]), off the western coastline of Scotland in the municipalities of Argyll and Bute. Mull is the 4th biggest island in Scotland and the 4th biggest island around Great Britain (without Ireland).

The 2011 survey showed the normal residential populace of Mull at 2,800[2], a small rise over 2001 at 2,667;[6] in the summers this is complemented by many people. Most of the people live in Tobermory, the only city on the island until 1973, and its capitol. It has a 480 km (300 miles) coast and its climatic conditions are tempered by the Gulf Stream.

It has a rocky nucleus; the highest summit of the island is Ben More, which is 966 meters (3,169 ft) high. Tobermory, the capital of Aros in the northern part of the island, was a city until 1973, when its citizens were no more. Mull' horse is located in the southwest and comprises the towns of Bunessan, Pennyghael, Uisken and Fionnphort.

Soon after the end of the last ice age, around 6000 BC, it is generally assumed that Mull was a population. In Norway, the island empire became known as Suðreyjar (Old Norse, traditional English as Sodor), which means the South. Later in the eleventh and seventeenth centuries, Magnus Barefoot, the Royal of Norway, started a battle that led the Scottish Emperor to withdraw all claims to sovereignty over the land of the Islands' Empire in 1098.

Dougall, his grandson, inherited the former Cenél Loairn area, now known as Lorn, to which Mull belonged. Meanwhile, the Crovan dynasty had maintained the status of island kingdom and remained in power over the Lewis/Harris and the Isle of Man. So Dougall's successors (the MacDougalls) lodged a complaint with Haakon, the Croatian sovereign, and in 1237 were recompensed by the division of the kingdom; the reign of the Hebrides was passed to the MacDougall line, and they were made heir to the Hebrides.

It built the Aros ( "in Mull") and Ardtornish ("across the mainland") fortresses, which together control the Sounds of Mull. During the early thirteenth centuary, the Scots sovereign, Alexander II, had made aggressively efforts to extend his empire to Suðreyjar, despite Edgar's forewarning. Soon after the undecided battle at Largs, the Croatian sovereign passed away.

By 1266, his peaceful heir transferred his nominally authoritative power over Suðreyjar to the Scotish sovereign (Alexander III) by the Treaty of Perth for a very large amount of heap. Acknowledging in general the semi-independent power of Somerled's successors, the former Suðreyjar had become more of a Scotland dependency than part of Scotland.

In the end of the last millennium there was a quarrel over the royalty of Scotland between King John Balliol and Robert de Bruys. As de Bruys beat John, he pronounced the MacDougall countries dilapidated and gave them to the MacDonalds and MacRory, the latter buying Lorn (and thus Mull). Although in a state of bankruptcy and without authority over his native land, in 1354 John, MacDougall's successor, denounced all his prerogatives in Mull to the Lord of the Islands.

Roberts was imprisoned in England when Robert's boy, David II, became King of Scotland; after his liberation in 1357, he re-established MacDougall's command over Lorn and revoked Robert's scholarship to MacRory. Its renunciation of 1354, apparently an effort to secure freedom in such a case, automatically came into force and split Mull from Lorn and made it subordinate to the rule of the islands.

Now, with John MacDonald banished, James IV reestablished the Macleans' power over Mull. A former MacLeans chieftain had wed the first lord's daugther and Duart Castle was given as a dowry; this became the centre of MacLean's domination of Mull.

An older member of the extended lineage built a steeple in Moy, on the south side of Mull, while the Duart Castle squadet lineage kept. After the Scottish Reformation, MacLeans became followers of Protestantism. In the mid-17th centuries they had become patrons of conventions that spoke out against the rejection of the solemn league and the covenant by Charles II and the support of civilian inobedience.

Although Archibald Campbell, the Earl of Argyll, was himself against persecuting such persons, he was expressly instructed by the Secret Scotland Board to oppress the conventions in his country, including Lorn. Soon after, the hostile spirit was spreading to Mull, where the adversaries of the conventions now felt encouraged, which led to violent outbursts between the two groups.

By 1678, Campbell was expressly ordered to take Mull and oppress both the force and the conventions. Until 1680 he took over the whole island. He then relinquished command of Duart Castle and left Mull to move to Cairnbulg Castle in Aberdeenshire. The Heritable Jurisdictions Act removed committee power in Mull after the Jacobites uprisings and Campbell took over the Sheriff's Cathedral of Argyll; the Campbells could now only exert power as landlords.

The island was frequented by Samuel Johnson and James Boswell during their famed tour of the West Islands in 1773. Agriculture, fishery and the cremation of kelpash (for the production of soaps and glasses ) were the most important business activity on the island until the nineteenth cent. The British Fisheries Society established the village of Reykjavik in 1788 as a proposed community to help the fisheries sector.

After the Highland Clearances in the eighteenth and nineteenth century and the Highland Potato famine, the island's total populace dropped from 10,000 to less than 3,000 and its economies sank. Nevertheless, several large buildings were constructed on Mull during this time, among them the "castle" of Torosay. Founded in 1889, the Scottish provinces on the borders of the Middle Ages by a local government law, Mull became part of the new county of Argyll.

During the Second World War, the whole island became a closed area. This cove of the island of Tobermory became a navy station controlled from HMS Western Isles. Under Commodore (later Vice Admiral) Sir Gilbert Stephenson, whose rigorous disciplinary and wild spirit gave him the epithet "The Terror of Tobermory", the basis and the reserved area.

After the reform of the end of the 20th centuries, Mull is now part of the broader area of Argyll and Bute. Ferries from the coast to Mull contain the most used ferries, from Oban to Craignure (about 45 minutes), Kilchoan to Tobermory (about 35 minutes) and Lochaline to Fishnish (about 15 minutes).

From Fionnphort to Mull there are ferries to the neighboring island Iona and from Oskamull to Ulva. During the past years there have been downhill runs to Oban (to Drimnin, Salen, Lochaline and Craignure) and to Barra, Coll and Tiree of Tobermory. There was also a trip to Staffa and Iona from Oban to Tobermory during the south.

There are 22 [30] relay outputs on Mull, neighbouring isles and parts of the continent. Fiber optics were installed between Kilchoan (in Ardnamurchan) and Tobermory and between Dunstaffnage (near Oban) and Torosay in 2014.

Supplementary cable was installed between Torosay and the city of Torosay in February 2015 to establish a full connection. A part of Robert Louis Stevenson's'Kidnapped' plays on Mull.
