Uisken is a quiet white-sand cove on the Ross of Mull, scattered with the warm pink granite the peninsula is known for. It’s at the end of a single-track road south of Bunessan, so it stays peaceful even in high summer. A lovely spot to swim or picnic on a calm day, with views out towards the small isles and Jura beyond.
