Day 7
Breakfast: Onboard in the ship’s dining room from 6am-9am. Morning: Today we’ll depart around 9am to discover Tobermory, the capital of the Isle of Mull in the Scottish Inner Hebrides. This picturesque fishing port features brightly painted houses surrounding its quiet harbor. During our first stop, we'll learn about crofting, the system of small-scale land tenure unique to the Scottish Highlands and these islands. You’ll have coffee with a local crofter and his family and learn about crofting’s origins—a practice some call “a piece of land fenced around by regulations.” Then, you’ll meet with some shop owners specializing in food items produced on the island and try a few samples. We’ll return to our ship in time for lunch. Lunch: Onboard in the ship’s dining room around 12:30pm. Afternoon: This afternoon, you can join your Trip Experience Leader for a 1-hour nature hike around 2pm. Then, you’re free to discover more of Tobermory on your own. You may want to explore the Mull Museum, which documents many parts of the island's life and its history. Or, you can mingle with some of the locals as you enjoy a pint at one of the traditional pubs that line the main street. We’ll then enjoy our evening Port Talk about the Isle of Lewis before dinner. Dinner: Onboard in the ship’s dining room around 6:30pm. Evening: After dinner onboard, a Gaelic choir will join us on the ship to perform some traditional Gaelic songs around 8pm. |
