Tour Synopsis
Rising from the wild and windy plains of the Atlantic, Mull is a land of contrasts. From its rocky beaches to the highest hill, the outstanding feature of this primeval land is the ever-changing Hebridean light. Its sea inlets, appearing and disappearing, vivid under the sun in blues and greens; its sudden corners; its water lilies on lochans, its black peat, its brown hide, its winds, its old greyness, its tongues of green, its green mountains; its incomparable air, its variety, lonely croft houses, deer and bird-life and salmon, Mull is Scotland in miniature.
We are based at Knock House, an idyllic retreat after a day of exploration. With stunning views over the surrounding hills and glens, Knock House is thoughtfully furnished to provide a luxurious, yet practical island retreat.
With the combination of dramatic mountain landscapes, wild seascapes and Mull’s diverse wildlife, which includes otters, wild goats, puffins, and eagles there is much here for the photographer to explore and discover.
Our classic motor launch, Benmore Lady, offers unrivalled freedom to discover the breathtaking natural beauty, spectacular wildlife, and delights of Mull and surrounding isles.
Six nights, single occupancy accommodation at Knock House, a classic west highland sporting lodge that was tastefully renovated in 2018 to give it a fresh new look, while retaining all of its character and charm. With 12 spacious bedrooms and eight bath or shower rooms (no en suites), each room is named after Mull’s neighbouring islands and possess their own unique character and quirks.
Dinner is prepared by the in-house chef and served in the dining room.
