The lighthouse on Eilean Musdile with the Lady Rock beacon and Mull to the west
The south end of the isle of Lismore lies at a major branching of the seaway going north: the Sound of Mull on the way to the Western Isles; the main branch of Loch Linnhe (the Lynn of Morvern), leading to Fort William and the Caledonian canal; and the more sheltered Lynn of Lorn to the east.
