Season: summer
Erraid is a tidal island in the south west corner of Mull, a stunning location where access varies depending on the tide. This is the island where the fictional David Balfour was marooned in Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Kidnapped”, caught out by the tide after being shipwrecked. Erraid is surrounded by many small islets, which makes it a paradise for kayakers and wild swimmers. There’s a handy campsite, allowing time to judge the tides accurately for a trip and tour around the island.
