Although the peace and scenery are the main attractions of Morvern, there are other things to see and do.....

Kiel Church: There has been a church on the site at Kiel since the time of Columba. The present church celebrated its centenary in 1999. A fine collection of ancient Celtic crosses can be viewed in the Session House and is well worth a visit.

Heritage Trail: The local community have published a book "Exploring Morvern" to introduce visitors and locals to Morvern's past. It contains details of sites of historical interest with explanations by local historians, some with accompanying short walks. The carved stones of Kiel, Ardtornish Castle, the deserted village of Uladail and the cleared village of Inniemore, the Wishing Stone together with a comprehensive description of the vegetation, birds, mamals, butterflies and reptiles, will convince visitors that one visit to Morvern is not nearly long enough to enjoy this unique part of Highland Scotland.

Fishing: Day permits can be obtained from Ardtornish and boats can be hired locally to take visitors out fishing.

Iona: 1400 years ago St. Columba arrived in Iona to set up his community and ever since it has been recognised as a very special place. Forty eight Scottish kings lie buried on Iona from Fergus II to Macbeth as well as kings from Norway and France, clan chiefs and dignitaries, the latest being John Smith of the Labour Party. The abbey has been restored by the Iona Community under the inspiration of Lord MacLeod of Fuinary!

Tobermory: Gaelic - Tobar Mhoire (the Well of Mary), is the capital of the Island of Mull. It has a magnificent setting, its south facing main street with brightly painted frontages curves round what is reputedly the loveliest bay and anchorage in the Hebrides. Its east-facing harbour is a popular yachting centre and a haven for shipping in stormy weather. Tobermory is also the home of the popular TV Programme "Balamory" and children will instantly recognise the colourful homes of it's characters! Tobermory can be accessed daily via the Lochaline ferry and also by the local Drimnin Ferry on the appropriate days.
