A good read, thanks - I do Islay every year (and Mull pretty often) at about the same time of the year and you've captured both places wonderfully well. I was on Islay the week before you and had very different weather, snow on the hills, gales, the works but it was still a wonderful trip. To anybody whose never tried it - go - it's a great island as Rich's write up well illustrates.
