Loch Frisa
Wanderings, wildlife and wonder at Loch Frisa
The countryside here feels remote and wild, but there’s an easy-to-follow trail that has great views of the hills and will take you through the home of some of Mull’s famous wildlife. You can follow it all the way to Glen Aros, where there’s a charming abandoned graveyard among the trees.
