Ulva is an island of outstanding natural beauty. Cars have been all but banished and the human touch is light. Several rare species thrive in unspoilt habitats whilst spectacular marine life can be seen from shore and boat alike. An island off an island really is a wonderful place to be. Getting to the Isle of Ulva is part of the magic of the Island. Although the crossing between Ulva Ferry and the Boathouse on Ulva is not wide, it is like crossing into a different world.
In the 1800’s Ulva was a thriving community of over 600 residents. Many residents from Mull and far beyond can trace their families back to Ulva. In its heyday, Ulva played host to an illustrious line of famous people including Beatrix Potter and Boswell & Johnson on their tour of Scotland. Ulva is also famous as the birthplace of one of the founding fathers of modern Australia, Sir Lachlan Macquarie. This connection draws many Australians each year to trace their island family heritage in the area.
The Boat House... The Boathouse offers an unique dining experience for visitors to Ulva. Specialising in fresh local shellfish and food made from Mull produce, freshly baked bread and home baking made every day. Open Easter 'til late September.
