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 facinating geology is well preseved 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.
Come on a Discover Mull Tourand 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 Tourwill give you a day out you will never forget.
