Agreed, but it was their intent (and only option with fuel and icing limitations to achieve the whole trip) to do it at LL; it is apparent from their nav setting that, once they had "touched base" at the Mull, they intended to head back over the sound (a significant bit of open water crossing) to pick up the 028 track parallel to the coast Islay/Jura to get to the start of the Great Glen - with all those VIPs on board, surely one would have expected a more detailed plan reflecting this route. Indeed, the chart presented at the inquiry looks like it was more appropriate for the two Puma sortie planned by the RN Officer Lt K.
