birds, flowers and rocks on the van so that guests can check up on the
many species we see during the day. We also provide a tick list so that
guests can check the species they have seen on the day in comfort either
where they are staying or when they return home to remind them of their
day out on Mull. |
| Our van is large and comfortable
with lots of leg room, space for guests belongings on the day and we provide
a step to help guests who require it to help them climb in and out, Handles
are also fitted for guests convenience when getting in and out of the vehicle. |
| A tour leader with a sense
of humour and 10 years experience of looking for and finding wildlife,
of putting guests needs and requirements first, with comfort breaks at
the top of the list. A leader who tries to give guests an individual day
out although there are up to 8 in the van and he cannot remember your name.

Famous for its wildlife and
rugged landscapes, a visit to the Isle of Mull promises an experience like
no other. One of the top locations in the world for discovering wildlife,
a tour around this island's natural habitats is a must for anyone with
an interest in flora and fauna who are holidaying in Scotland. for a truly
personalised journey around the island a 'Discover Mull' guided tour comes
highly recommended. The couple receive great feedback and many of their
customers return year after year to relive this very special experience.

The Wildlife on Mull is as
exciting as anything Africa can offer. Your guides are Arthur and Pam Brown,
farmers turned wildlife guides who have the tracking skills of the Masai
and the baking ability of Mr Kipling.

Written by journalist Dan Bourke
Pam Brown co-runs ‘Discover
Mull’, a fine wildlife tour on the island, with her husband Arthur Brown.
When we entered their crazy world we saw otters, deer and countless birds
of interest and rarity. Pam makes good sandwiches, extraordinarily good
lemon drizzle cake and great tea which is done in their van to your specification.

Mull is a naturalists' heaven
with several ecologies wrapped in one small island, but we wouldn't have
seen a quarter of what's on offer without Pam & Arthur's insider knowledge.
You get a class act when you hire them for a whole day, along with some
comical patter and Pam's home-made veg soup, sarnies, flapjacks and cake.
Taken from the Press &
Journal . 9th June 2008.
Written by journalist Rita Campbell
‘I was met by Pam and Arthur
Brown, the charming married couple who run Discover Mull tours.
Armed with binoculars and
telescopes, the tour group marched along the shore, and less than 10 minutes
after stepping foot on Mull, I had spotted my first otter.
Pam had pointed it out to
me within minutes of standing on the shoreline, yet it took me a while
to locate it in the silvery waters with my binoculars. But she was determined
that I should see the adorable little creature and made a point of lining
up her telescope for me. I was amazed as I saw its cheeky little head poking
up from amongst the seaweed.
That was the start of a day
that saw us spotting a rare white-tailed sea eagle, golden eagles, red
deer, seals, buzzards, hen harriers, red throated divers, oyster catchers,
and too many more bird species to mention.
Pam and Arthur used their
local knowledge of the island to take us to the best secret spots and their
comical patter, plus Pam's delicious home baking, all added to the enjoyment
of the day’. |
 Mull
has a variety of habitats & is the premier place in the UK to see Golden
Eagles, Sea Eagle & Hen Harrier. Also Peregrine Falcon, Merlin &
Short eared Owl. All 3 Divers, Slavonian Grebe, Sea Birds, Waders and many
small birds.
Red Deer on the hills and Fallow Deer, Otters are regularly seen and in
the lochs Grey and Common Seal, Dolphins, Porpoise. Hares and also Highland
Cattle and Hebridean Sheep.
 Primroses,
Bluebell Woods, Yellow Flag Iris, Gorse. Many varieties of wild Orchids,
Cotton Grass, Sun Dew, Milkwort, Lousewort, Butterwort and Grass of Parnassus.
A paradise for botanists.
 The
history of Scotland comes to life with its ruined Castles, deserted villages,
Crannogs, Brochs and Duns. Standing Stones have a history we don't fully
understand and each one must have a tale to tell.
 The
volcanic creation of the island formed beautiful mountain scenery and raised
beaches. Sills, dykes, xenoliths were created and pillow lava flowed creating
interesting rock formations.
