Where to see puffins? Lunga or Ascrib Islands?
 

We'll be visiting both the Isle of Mull and the Isle of Skye and would love to see puffins.

We have the option of either seeing puffins on Lunga (departing from Fionnphort or Tobermory on Mull) and/or on the Ascrib Islands (departing from Uig on Skye).

Purely because of timing, I am hoping to do the puffin tour from Uig so that we can fit in time for Staffa and Iona while on Mull.

Does anyone have any input as to whether one location is actually better than the other for puffins? Does anyone know if the tours to the Ascrib Islands actually stop and let you off on the island(s) amongst the puffins the way the tours on Lunga do?

We did the one from Tobermory on Mull. We sure saw a lot of puffins. Heck, we picnicked among puffins. What a hoot!

I have no clue what the Ascrib Island tours do.

Just so you know, we loved our stay in a sort of decrepit hotel right above Tobermory. The nearby Tobermory Bakery was worth any inconvenience of our stay.
