Template:Tobermory is a town on the Isle of Mull in Scotland.

Hitchhiking out

Hitchhiking to other place on Mull is pretty straightforward - walk the main road along the shore and to the south to catch rides to Craignure (where you can get a ferry to Oban) or up the other road (B882) to get to the north or west of Mull. Both roads can lead to Fionnport (where you can catch a ferry to [Iona]), but the one through Craignure should have more traffic. To get to mainland Scotland (or to another island), you will need a boat. CalMac Ferries sail to Kilchoan, which is a tiny village with not much traffic or places to camp. Better find a ride out on the ferry, and get there early so you might have a chance to catch someone from a later ferry. If you have time, Tobermory might be a good place for hitchhiking a boat to different locations - stay in the area for a few days and ask around the harbor.

Accommodation and Sleep

On the southern end of the harbor (to your right if you face the shore) there's a path leading up and into the woods. Wildcamping spots can be found there (you will need to walk about 15-30 minutes, depending on your place of choice). You can sleep in your sleeping bag on the wooden table, or walk further and find a place to pitch your tent.

Other useful info

There are toilet, shower and laundry facilities in the harbor which cost money (bring coins) but aren't very expensive. Opening times are ~ 7:00 - 21:00. There's also Wifi inside the building - ask someone for the password.
