Calve Island is an uninhabited island on the east coast of the Isle of Mull in Argyll and Bute on the west coast of Scotland. It provides some shelter for Tobermory Bay and is separated from Mull by a tidal channel[2]. The island is a mile (1.5 km) in length.[4] Under water there is a popular dive site[5]
