Tobermory, the beautiful island capital of the Isle of Mull. It is probably still known to some visitors as TV's Balamory; and its harbour is said to be home to the sunken wreck of a Spanish Armada ship and its cargo of gold.

Thanks to @History_of_Geology I know today is the birthday of Leopold von Buch, after whom the glassy rock "buchite" is named. 🎂

Mull is particularly famous for its aluminium-rich buchites, in which mullite was discovere + sapphires and other goodies. Here's a mullite buchite from an old #ThinSectionThursday - the long crystals are mullite, the clear background is glass, + together they are buchite. 🤩 More in alt txt.

The strikingly attractive Kilmore Church at Dervaig on the Isle of Mull. The church was built in 1904/5 and the design of the pencil tower was inspired by Irish watchtowers. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/mull/kilmorechurch/index.html
