south of Tobermory, which is the venue for most of its Mull-based performances; check
the website for details of the latest shows.
THEATRE
NORTH MULL
The road from Tobermory west to Calgary cuts inland, leaving most of the north coast of
Mull wild and inaccessible. Just outside Tobermory a long, single-track road leads north
for 4 miles to majestic Glengorm Castle ( 01688-302321; www.glengormcastle.co.uk ;
Glengorm; 10am-5pm Easter-mid-Oct) with views across the sea to Ardnamurchan,
Rum and the Outer Hebrides. The castle outbuildings house an art gallery featuring the
work of local artists, a farm shop selling local produce, and an excellent coffee shop . The
castle itself is not open to the public, but you're free to explore the beautiful grounds.
The Old Byre Heritage Centre ( 01688-400229; www.old-byre.co.uk ; Dervaig;
adult/child £4/2; 10.30am-6.30pm Wed-Sun Apr-Oct) brings Mull's social and natural
history to life through a series of tableaux and half-hour film shows. The prize for most
bizarre exhibit goes to the 40cm-long model of a midge. The centre's tearoom serves
good, inexpensive snacks, including homemade soup and clootie dumpling, and there's a
kids' outdoor play area.
Mull's best (and busiest) silver-sand beach , flanked by cliffs and with views out to Coll
and Tiree, is at Calgary , about 12 miles west of Tobermory. And yes - this is the place
from which the more famous Calgary in Alberta, Canada, takes its name.
