Geology:
No
tour of mull can be made without mentioning
its geological formation. Indeed a
geological survey of Scotland in 1924
proclaimed that Mull included the most
complicated igneous centre ever examined in
the world at that time. We will show you the
volcanoes; dykes and rocks that make Mull
such a popular destination.

The
Isle of Mulls fascinating geology is well
preserved in volcanic formation which has
been shaped by glacial erosion. Mull has
some very rare rock types and well preserved
volcanic formations. These attract
geologists from all over the world and it is
these rock structures underneath the surface
that make Mull one of the most attractive
islands in the Hebrides.
The
islands geology gives Mull its varied and
beautiful scenery and habitats for the wide
variety of wildlife that make their home
here.
From
high mountain ranges to delicate sand dunes,
towering cliffs to rocky estuaries it's this
vast amount of ecology that give Mull the
wonderful array of wildlife that we all love
to see.
Come
on a Discover Mull Tour and we will attempt
to explain how Mull was formed from its
southern hemisphere beginnings. This along
with the beautiful scenery and all the other
parts of a Discover Mull Tour will give you
a day out you will never forget.
