Tinker's Hole
Drop anchor at Tinker's Hole, a snug, almost otherworldly anchorage tucked at the western tip of the Ross of Mull, sheltered by dramatic outcrops of pink Lewisian granite that make it feel like a flooded quarry. It's a well-protected spot, and you'll have Iona sitting right there to the north, close enough to feel like you've found a secret back door to one of Scotland's most sacred islands.
