The Isle of Mull makes for a strikingly beautiful weekend getaway. (Image: Getty) A stunning Scottish island is surrounded by rich sea life, offering visitors the chance to see dolphins and porpoises - and even a glimpse of the world's largest animal . The waters sounding the Isle of Mull of the Inner Hebrides, are home to all manner of sea creatures from the Majestic Minke Whale to the collossal Blue Whale , which can be almost 30 meters long and weigh as much as 199 tonnes.

Twenty four different cetacean species (which includes whales, dolphins and porpoises), have been spotted around the Hebrides since research began around two decades ago, according to Tobermory.co.uk .

Tobermory, Mull's capital, offers a range of boat trips to see Minkes, Harbour Porpoise, Seals and various Dolphin species, with short cruises lasting an hour and a half, to six-hour Whale watching adventures. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
