I am spending a week in self-catering acc with my husband and three
children (16,13 & 10)in August - at Killiechronan. We'd be grateful for
any good tips and suggestions for walks and places to visit off the
beaten track!Thanks : )

There are a couple of books of walks available from here

You can probably buy them on the island if time for post is tight.

Everything except Ben More, Bala^H^H^H^HTobermory, Duart Castle and
Iona is off the beaten track IME

Hi Nelly,
what a coincidence as we will be there at the same time! Hope we can
meet up!

Iona is very much on the beaten track, but once on the island few people
venture off the main road, and it is an unforgettable place.

Get up early and catch the first ferry over one day when the forecast is
'fair'.
Coach parties don't get thick until 11'ish.

I was on Mull at Easter - this is one place you can look at:

You need Java (and a fastish connection) to view it.

Recommended. Jeremy knows his stuff. If you're interested, however,
ring up before you go and book. His trips fill up early.

I second this.......fabulous days out.
I have been 4 times now and seen minke whales every time, basking sharks,
dolphins , loads of birds,, a great beach break for lunch...often on a tiny
island only accessible by boat. Great company. Longer days than planned too
if the day is good and there is lots to be seen.
I'm not retained by him, honest, but always recommend this over other
advertised trips.

Mull is a great place. I've been 7 or 8 times now.

Cairns of Coll. Fabulous spot. We watched a couple of basking
sharks form the beach last time we were there.
