Mull after Dark

In just under 6 day’s time the night skies of Mull will once again be illuminated as Stage 1 of the 47th Mull Rally gets under way from Tobermory. This short video was taken during the 2014 event, and anyone familiar with the island will no doubt recognise the location as Dervaig, with the hairpins in the foreground and the cars disappearing off over the Hill Road in the background.

The timelapse sequence was shot by local photographer and naturalist Ewan Miles. It is part of a longer video he has recently put together to celebrate Mull’s Dark Skies – some of the darkest in Europe (at least when the rally is not in town!). The full video can be seen on his Nature Scotland facebook page. Ewan’s tours are highly recommended if you are staying on Mull a little longer.
