The Garvellachs, in Scottish Gaelic: An Garbh Eileaicha, the 'rough islands' or Isles of the Sea are a chain of four small islands lying north of Isle of Jura at the entrance to the Firth of Lorne.The best-known island of the Garvellachs is the most southerly in the group, Eileach an Naoimh, Scottish Gaelic for Isle of the Saints. Here, the ruined remains of an ancient Celtic monastery believed to have been founded by St Brendan in 542 AD can be seen. Due to its remoteness, the ruins are well preserved. The site is in the care of Historic Scotland
Taking a boat trip to the Treshnish Isles is by far the best way to see many of the areas sea birds. The islands are breeding grounds for razorbill, guillemot, shag, fulmar, cormorant, kittywake, skua and everyone's favourite, the puffin.To make sure you see the puffins, visit during late spring or summer - leave it too late and they'll have gone, spending the winter at sea. The puffins are at their best during the breeding season, it's when their rainbow beaks are at their brightest.
Tobermory was built as a fishing port in the late 18th century and is now the main village on Mull. It is a picture-postcard of a place with the brightly painted buildings along the main street to the pier and the high wooded hills surrounding the bay. The village has a good variety of shops, hotels, and other accommodation as well as being the administrative centre for the island. The harbour is always busy with fishing boats, yachts and the ferry to and from Kilchoan during the summer months
