Isle of Mull - any good roads?
Discussion
Hi all. I'm taking the missus off for a romantic weekend away up in bonnie Scotland soonish, I'm also hoping to get some hoonage in on some of the great roads up there. We're going to be be based fairly close to Mull and I was wondering if it's worth popping over to sample the roads? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Do you mean Glengorm? http://www.glengormcastle.co.uk/coffeeshop.htm
Sorry yes, Glengorm, that's the one.Thanks
Returned yesterday, the weather was a bit changable but the roads lived up to my expectations!
830 miles in total and some really memorable driving experiences. Excellent!
A few pics from the trip:
Pausing on the approach to Glencoe after a storming blast across Rannoch Moor.
A bit of wildlife.
On the Localine - Fishnish ferry to Mull.
A taster of the weather to come.
Once on Mull, we headed for Tobermory, then out to Glengorm Castle for lunch @ the coffee shop - unfortunately it was closed so back to Tobermory for fish & chips on the quayside (in the rain!). We then headed out towards Dervaig (had some fun on the hairpins!
), round to Calgary bay - the sun came out here - beautiful spot. Unfortunately we couldn't stop because time was flying by and we realised we had to get to the ferry for 5:25, so it was shoe down from here onwards which was pretty enjoyable except for the pothole avoidence that had the missus hanging onto her seat a couple of times. We made the ferry with about 10 mins to spare! Phew..
Some jolly fellows that were hiding round a bend!
Back on the mainland, and on what has to be my favourite section from Lochaline to Corran ferry via Kingairloch (A884 - B8043 - A861). Sublime.... just watch out for the wild goats on the shoreline just after Camasnacroise.
