Fionnphort
Fionnphort, on the tip of the Ross of Mull, is an ideal centre for exploring the Ross itself, and for visiting the islands of Staffa (Fingal's Cave), Lunga (for bird-watching) and, of course, Iona. With a population slightly over 150 (including the surrounding area), Fionnphort has just one pub and one shop with post office.
The Keel Row (pub) serves excellent food; it is often very busy in the evening, so we advise you to book in advance, particularly if you want to eat there on the day of arrival.

How to get to Mull
The principal car ferry runs from Oban to Craignure (Mull). There are up to ten sailings a day in summer (late March to mid-October). In winter, five or six sailings per day, according to the day of the week. Other ferries run to Mull from Lochaline (Morvern) and Kilchoan (Ardnamurchan).
Maolbhuidhe is about 50-60 minutes drive from Craignure, but it can take longer at busy times. Follow the signs for Fionnphort / Iona ferry. A service bus meets some (but not all) ferries. Detailed directions
