Burg

united kingdom

Burg perches on Mull's remote northwest coast, reached via ferry to Craignure then a winding 90-minute drive through Glen More on the B8073. The narrow coastal road demands careful navigation with passing places, but rewards with dramatic Hebridean scenery. The settlement faces Gometra island with mainland Highland views beyond, whilst MacCulloch's Tree offers a remarkable 50-million-year-old fossilized conifer embedded in the coastal cliffs.
