Built as a "planned" fishing port in the18th century it is now the main town on Mull. With the brightly painted buildings in the main street to the pier and high wooded hills surrounding the bay it is a very scenic and pituresque spot. It has a good variety of shops, hotels, and other accommodation and is always busy with fishing boats and yachts. The ferry to and from Kilchoan opperates during the summer from here.
