  "textContent": "Ulva is a community owned island with a current population of 6 people.  The first experience visiting Ulva is the ferry which you summon using by sliding the indicator on the ferry board to show red. I didn't initially spot this, but Kai and Laura did and managed to summon the ferry for us - otherwise we'd have been waiting a long time!  This ferry is for passengers only and is a very short crossing across from Mull. \n\n{{<fig \"IMG_3083.jpeg\">}}\n{{<fig \"IMG_3084.jpeg\">}}\n{{<fig \"DSC_0885.jpeg\">}}\n\nWe started our visit with Sheila's cottage which gave an interesting insight into life on Ulva in the past and then a stop for coffee and cakes at the Boathouse Restaurant. We then went for a walk around the near part of the island taking in some of the sights.  It was really peaceful with only a couple of other groups of walkers we saw on the way around the island.\n\n{{<fig \"DSC_0889.jpeg\">}}\n{{<fig \"DSC_0891.jpeg\">}}\n{{<fig \"DSC_0893.jpeg\">}}\n\nThe tracks were good, the paths were well marked and the nature unspoilt. \n{{<fig \"DSC_0898.jpeg\">}}\n{{<fig \"DSC_0899.jpeg\">}}\n{{<fig \"DSC_0937.jpeg\">}}\n\nAs we reached the higher points on the route, there were fantastic views across to Mull and around the surrounding area. \n{{<fig \"DSC_0954.jpeg\">}}\n{{<fig \"IMG_3101.jpeg\">}}\n{{<fig \"DSC_0960.jpeg\">}}\n\n{{<fig \"DSC_0985.jpeg\">}}\n{{<fig \"DSC_0987.jpeg\">}}\n{{<fig \"IMG_3116.jpeg\">}}\n\n{{<fig \"DSC_0006.jpeg\">}}\n{{<fig \"DSC_0008.jpeg\">}}",
