Beaches!

Having grown up playing on the golden sands of the Fylde Coast, I love the seaside so one of the joys of holidaying on a small island is the ability to visit different beaches. Mull, being blessed with a richly diverse geology enjoys a variety of different coastal landscapes. There are the golden sands of Calgary Bay in the Northwest, the rocky coves of Knockvologan and Kintra and the grey, volcanic Laggan Sands on the Ross of Mull. Each day of our holiday proved to be an adventure as we headed off to explore our chosen beach of the day.

One’s heart can’t fail to soar at the shimmering turquoise bays and white beaches of Tiree. They are wonderful, draped with necklaces of seaweed and shells and cloaked by green, sandy dunes.  Their seductive curves, caressed by silver topped waves whispering ageless secrets, charm those who see them, drawing the visitor into a helpless love affair that lasts long after the Island has been left behind for the grey pavements of life. But thankfully, as is the way for all lovers, it is possible to close one’s eyes and be enveloped, albeit momentarily, back in a tender, peaceful “Tireen” embrace.
