As I write this all UK schools should now be on their summer holidays. We’ve already had some Scottish and overseas school children and families visiting us of course and now we’re preparing for an invasion from the rest of the UK. We’ve got lots of fun things for you to do here at the Mull. Just at the moment, while it’s such beautiful weather, we’ve been putting out a 6 point trail for you to follow. There’s an activity for you to try at each ‘station’ – the photo shows some of the works of art that we’ve gathered so far. One of our current brilliant residential volunteers, Regina, created this trail.
We’ll have plenty to do in the visitor centre if the weather is not behaving itself. There will be things to make and you can contribute to this year’s collage. Kath (another one of our wonderful 'resi-vols') is just putting the finishing touches to the backdrop. It should have dried by this weekend so that you can add your contribution. A fish, perhaps or sheep in the walled garden, birds, Mr Grindling the Lighthouse Keeper...
The guided walks continue at the Mull (Tuesdays and Thursdays , 1pm) and we are now starting our Beachcomber Walks from New England Bay caravan site. Meet at the caravan site entrance on Wednesdays 11am.
This year we are taking part in the 12th annual National Whale and Dolphin Watch. There are two free events at the Mull - the first is Thursday 1 August, 11am - 1pm and the second is Sunday 4 August, 1pm - 4pm. Come and spend as long or as little time as you like helping us to spot whales and dolphins. We'll provide some 'scopes and binoculars and help with identification but we need your eyes!

It's going to be an eventful and fun summer holiday at the Mull - hope you can come and join in the fun!
