The Seven Districts

There are seven districts in the western part of the Ross of Mull, all with their own unique character. The Centre has produced leaflets which contain guided walks for each district, with an overview of the major points of interest with maps and trails to help explore the area. The Centre publication “Discover the Ross” provides more historical detail on the Ross of Mull generally as well as the seven districts

More Information

The Ross of Mull is an extraordinary microcosm of all that draws visitors to the Hebridean Islands. The scenery, as you travel along the single-track road from the ferry at Craignure is breath-taking. You experience in the many walks in the area a true sense of wilderness; the secret bays with their beaches of silvery sand, the abundance of wildlife and the innumerable marks on the landscape of the lives of past generations and communities long gone. The Ross of Mull is a compelling place for anyone fascinated by history and the ancient way of life of the Gaelic people.
