St Conan’s Pilgrim Way Route I CRAIG LODGE to TAYNUILT (14.2 miles, 23 km) Start: Craig Lodge Miles Km a) Follow Craig Lodge access road to Dalmally Bridge. Do not turn le over the Bridge into Dalmally but connue west along the B8077 to the cale grid entrance to Castles Farm. It was almost certainly here that St Columba founded a monasteryon the side of Loch Awe and the hill immediately be- hind the farm is called Beinn Eunaich which translates into St Adamnan who was a follower and biographer of St Columba ..................... 3.7 6.0 b) Walk to the end of the well-maintained Hydro- Electric road up the Allt Mhoille. You inially pass Castles farm which is on your right. The gradient of the road is never too steep and wonderful views emerge as the hills and corries appear……………….. 2.8 4.5 c) Now follow a footpath, well-defined by sturdy poles at regular intervals, to the summit of the pass at an altude of 564m (1850) here can be found the flat rock which was used by the MacIntyre clan (see their clan history) to conduct ‘parliament’ meengs! .................. 0.3 0.5 d) Descend down Glen Noe to Glennoe farm. If the hills are clear of mist you will get fabulous views of the northern corries of Ben Cruachan which hold snow well into summer. You will also pass the ruins of former MacIn- tyre habitaons. ………………………… 3.0 5.0 e) From Glennoe farm you now take the private road to Inverawe road junc- on. Where you turn right. You skirt along the side of Loch Eve (oers are frequently seen here in the sea)… 2.5 4.0 f)You now head for the suspension bridge (019316) over the R.Awe which leads you into Taynuilt where B&B, Shops etc are available .......................... 1.9 3.0 TOTAL NB 14 miles 23 km This is a really fine walk through the hills and you are likely to see deer and perhaps golden eagles. If some of you think the 14.2 miles is a bit much we could drive you to Castles farm cale grid thereby saving you 3.7 miles! Please note that if you propose walking in the autumn during the deerstalk- ing season it is imperave that you contact the Castles and Glen Noe estates to check if it is OK for you to walk on a parcular day.

She composed the beauful ‘Child in a Manger’ (Leanabh an Aigh) sung to the melody now known as ‘Morning has broken’ which is so popular. Shiaba (440192) is only a short walk east from Scoor and is well worth a visit. The walk from Carsaig to Scoor is approximately 11.2 miles.

From Knockvologan you connue to Fidden an excellent camp site with superb views if Iona which is one mile short of Fionnphort where there are b&b’s and a shop The distance from Scoor to Fionnphort is approximately 15 miles Scoor to Fionnphort (via Ardalanish & Fidden) 12.8 21 Fionnphort to Iona (Calmac Ferry - 10 minutes crossing) TOTAL 43.4 69.4 St Conan’s Pilgrim Way Route I Day Two: TAYNUILT to OBAN (12 miles, 19.4km) Miles Km Starng at Taynuilt Hotel at the crossroads (003310) you take the Glen Lonan road heading due south.

You gradually walk up to a height of 367 (112m) before reaching Barguilean Farm(980288) and roughly 2.5 miles (4km) from Taynuilt. From there on the road more or less levels out. There is very lile traffic on this road thereby allowing a wonderful quiet and peaceful walk. At Glenamacrie farm, a further 4.5 miles (7.2km) there is a knoll on the north side of the road called Tom na Croise (the hill of the Cross) (923287) and this cross is marked as standing on earlier maps. A mile further on you come on a very impressive standing stone and stone circle (907289), dang back to the Bronze Age, close to the road on your right. Aer a further 1.5 miles (2.4km) you turn right at the juncon (890292) on the Kilmore road which you follow for only half a mile (1km) before turning le up to Glencruien House (879296) at 348 alt. (106m). From here you TOTAL drop down into Oban a further 2 miles (3.2km) where there is an abun- 12 miles 19.4 km dance of accommodaon plus a Youth Hostel. Glen Lonan road from Taynuilt to Oban Looking back at Dalmally before crossing over to Glen Noe The dramac Carsaig arches well worth a visit if you are passing St Conan’s Pilgrim Way Route I Route 1 Craignure to Iona (37 miles, 59.3 km) Miles Km Crossing from Oban to Craignure, Isle of Mull This excing and exhilarang ferry crossing to Mull only takes 45 minutes and there are several sailings each day which you can check on www.calmac.co.uk Isle of Mull - Craignure to Iona (via A849) This is the ‘easy’ way to Iona via the main road which is a very beauful and scenic route. You can also use secons of the old road which run adjacent to the main road; and there are excing plans afoot to have the old road upgraded to cycle path standard the whole way. Road traffic is fairly light except when coaches, etc leave Fionnphort soon aer 3pm to catch the 5pm ferry crossing from Craignure to Oban However, if you are relying on b&b facilies there are difficules! Apart from Craignure where there is also good bunk house accommodaon, and Lochdon a further 3 miles on, the next b&b’s are in Pennyghael, where there is also a shop, some 20 miles from Craignure! If this is too long a walk for some a suggeson would be to use the local bus service for part of the way.

  • Calmac Winter Reliability Mull & Iona Ferry Committee Version 3, 05/05/2019
    CalMac winter reliability Mull & Iona Ferry Committee Version 3, 05/05/2019 First presented to CalMac MD Robbie Drummond on 18/02/19. This version contains cancellation and wind data through to the end of the winter 18/19 timetable period. What the users think Mull & Iona Ferry Committee are undertaking an online users’ survey, that at the time of writing is still open. These are preliminary results after more than 700 responses. We are including some selected results here that are pertinent to the reliability issue. Here you can see clearly that the most important attribute of our ferry services is reliability. What the users think Not only is reliability the most important attribute, it is also overwhelmingly perceived to be worsening. What the users think What is your over-all level of satisfaction with the service? Oban - Craignure There is huge disparity of satisfaction between Oban – Craignure and Lochaline – Fishnish. Why? Lochaline - Fishnish Reliability One of the main differences between the two services is reliability. Here you can see the cancellation rate of the two routes over the last 20 winter timetable periods. There is a strong upward trend on the Oban – Craignure service, whereas Lochaline – Fishnish does not seem to be showing such a deterioration. Throughout this long period, the main winter Oban – Craignure vessel has not changed. Reliability The problem does not seen to be restricted to Oban – Craignure. Here you can see how it compares with some other major-vessel routes. Reliability Infact, the entire CalMac network is showing a decline in reliability. Note that these figures are all showing weather- related cancellations only, and have been calculated as a percentage of scheduled services.

  • Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan
    Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan 2011 In 2010 the Ross of Mull (including Pennyghael and Tiroran) and Iona were identified by Highlands and Islands Enterprise as being an area which could receive support through their Growth at the Edge (GatE) programme. This involved supporting an anchor organisation, in this case Mull and Iona Community Trust, to facilitate community growth through the employment of a Local Development Officer and the creation of a Community Plan based on consultation with the local community and a socio-economic analysis. The project is funded by Highlands and Islands Enterprise & LEADER. The document will always be open to suggestions and changes from the community and should not be regarded as being inflexible.

The plan is an opportunity for our communities to control our development and implement projects, which will be of direct benefit to the Ross of Mull and Iona.
