Seasons
Year round; out-of-season visits mean less traffic on the island's narrow roads, lesser footfall and a better chance of seeing the wildlife
Centres

Difficulty
The walks in this book are easy to follow and mostly on good paths, which vary from smooth, well-surfaced waymarked trails to more rugged paths across moorland terrain.
Must See
Tobermory's colourful harbourside houses ; Rubha nan Gall lighthouse; Kilvickeon beach; beautiful coastline; smaller islands of Iona, Ulva and Staffa; white-tailed and golden eagles, seals, otters; wildflower-rich 'machair' coastal meadows.
