Ulva

Ulva shown within Argyll

Ulva is an island in the Scottish Inner Hebrides, off the west coast of Mull. Until the mid-nineteenth century its main industry was kelp collection and export. A church on the island designed by Thomas Telford dates from this period.

The island now has a population of around 30 people and is known for its wildlife, which includes deer, buzzards, golden eagles and sea eagles. Ulva's interior is heather-covered moorland, while the south coast has basalt columns similar to those on Staffa.

A ferry sails from Ulva to the hamlet of Ulva Ferry on Mull. At low tide, Ulva is linked to the island of Gometra.
