About Aros

Aros sits on Mull's eastern shore where the A848 curves along the Sound of Mull, offering excellent views toward the mainland hills of Morvern. Most visitors arrive via the Lochaline-Fishnish ferry, then drive 8km west along the coastal road. The settlement serves as a convenient stopping point between the ferry terminal and Tobermory, with about 7 fast EV chargers available nearby. The shoreline here provides some of Scotland's best otter-watching opportunities, particularly around the kelp beds at dawn.
