A holiday post
We have been to Treshnish farm on the Isle of Mull for a holiday for many years as we like the peace and quiet and the wildlife. It's just so remote.
I noticed today on their website they have some cancellations which is rare as normally need to book a year ahead to get a holiday here.
An ideal opportunity if anyone can get the time off work at short notice
Link to the homepage is here.

To get to Mull book a ferry from Oban to Craignure (the Mull ferry terminal) with Calmac:

If you have never been to one of the islands it is worth going.
Midges can be a problem in Summer but May is before the midge season usually.
In the same day you might see snakes, basking sharks, otters, sheep , wild mountain goats, white tailed sea eagles (they are HUGE) , lots of deer and best of all not many people at all.
A random video found on youtube that shows a bit of wildlife:
