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.
