Mull Museum

Small museum crammed with informtation about the history of Mull and its people – geology, standing stones, castles, Spanish Armada galleon, crofting emigrants, schools and World War II naval base. Open Easter to October. Library and archive by appointment. 

From early people living in duns and brochs, through the times of warring clans and their castles, to more recent events. Exhibits of crofting, farming, fishing and everyday objects show what life was like in Mull in the past. The wreck of a Spanish galleon in 1588 brought excitement to the place, as did the hundreds of naval personnel who trained here during Second World War. 

People went from Mull, like Lachlan Macquarie, the father of Australia, and made their mark on the world. Early visitors to Mull include Johnson and Boswell, Mendelssohn and Queen Victoria.
