“We’re entering stargazing season… and Port nan Gael after dark is something pretty special. ✨
Clearer nights, darker skies and those moments where you look up and realise just how much is happening above us.
Here are a few dates to look out for this October:
☄️ 8–9 October — Draconid Meteor Shower Peak
☄️ 21–22 October — Orionid Meteor Shower Peak
🌕 26 October — Hunter’s Full Moon
✨ 27–28 October — Moon & Pleiades Close Approach
These are just a few of the celestial moments happening above Port nan Gael this month — weather permitting, of course. 🌌
Whether you’re staying at the campsite, in the glamping pods, at The Hideouts or at The Inn at Port nan Gael, autumn and winter bring a completely different feeling to Mull.
Sometimes all you need to do is wrap up warm, step outside and look up.
So… are you ready for stargazing season? ✨
Save these dates for your next evening under the Mull skies.
