Go to Mull for a day.
Oban ferry to Mull. Every 2 hours. From 1000 out and 1900 last one back. £36 one way.
Would be wise to book in advance for the 1000 from Oban ferry and the return at 1700. Cars must be there 45 mins before departure. Go via Lochaline instead- much cheaper and nicer. We never book this ourselves.
