After our extended weekend in Edinburgh, my Mom and I headed north to the isle of Mull (via train, ferry, and bus). Lee could not join us as he needed to head back to England for work.

I've never been further north than Stirling and we were blessed with gorgeous weather with which to see the Scottish countryside. We stayed in Tobermory and Mom picked a great B&B in which to stay.

The B&B provided homemade shortbread and bread every day - need I say more? And the view from our room was fantastic!

Mom and I enjoyed a nice country walk around Tobermory where we happened upon the Isle of Mull cheese farm, which provided us with some tasty treats to accompany our oatcakes.

That evening we had a fantastic meal at the Cafe Fish, which we would both highly recommend!

On our second day on the island we joined a tour led by Mull Magic, a company that provides guided walks of the island. This was definitely the best way to see the isle of Mull and the isle of Iona. We were able to see and learn SO much more than we would have if we had just used public transportation. Ruth and Stuart were such knowledgeable and friendly guides!

After a lovely time on the isle of Mull we had to return to the mainland. But the trip was not over yet as we needed to head to Glasgow airport where we would flew out to Belfast to meet up with my Dad, sister, aunt, uncle and cousins for a big ol' family reunion!
