Our take
Tomsleibhe is for people who find the rest of Mull too crowded. The walk in crosses empty moorland to a coast that faces nothing but Atlantic. On a clear evening the sunset behind the Treshnish Isles is extraordinary. On a wet day it is bleak beyond measure.
Getting there
From Dhiseig on the B8035, follow rough paths south across moorland to the coast. The terrain is boggy and pathless in sections. Navigation skills recommended. Allow 3 hours.
Nearest parking: Dhiseig on the B8035 south Mull
What to expect inside
Small MBA bothy in fair condition with a fireplace. Space for 4. The coastal setting is spectacular on a clear day. Driftwood from the shore provides fuel.
Nearby hills & attractions
Views to Iona, Staffa and the Treshnish Isles. The south Mull coast is wild and rarely visited. Sea eagles and golden eagles are regularly seen.
When to visit
CalMac ferry from Oban to Craignure, then drive to the trailhead. Best May–September. The moorland approach is very boggy in winter and spring.
