Fionnphort

Fionnphort (Scottish Gaelic: Fionnphort, ) is the principal port of the Ross of Mull, and the second largest settlement in the locale (its population is approximately 80). Fionnphort is the base of the ferry service between 'mainland' Mull and Iona, and also boat trips to Staffa. It is also home to a museum about Saint Columba, a shop and restaurant - all of which capitalise on the traffic of tourists and pilgrims to Iona. Fionnphort also has a beach (with a distinctive split granite boulder in the centre that is classed as an erratic and deposited here by an ice age glacier), car park and cemetery.
