Exploring Kerrera

Scenic landscape featuring rolling grassy fields in the foreground, a large body of water with a cargo ship in the middle ground, and mountain ranges with cloudy skies in the background.

Situated only 650m away from the mainland, Kerrera is easily accessible. Once you are on the island it feels like you are a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of the mainland.

A tall, old stone tower on a hill overlooking the ocean, with a wooden walkway leading to its entrance. The sky is partly cloudy with sunlight reflecting off the water.

The island is popular through the day with visitors visiting the beautiful ruined Gylen castle on the rugged southern coast and immersing themselves in the amazing scenery and wildlife.

Whatever your holiday plan may be, make sure you take the time to kick back, relax and soak up the special atmosphere and stunning scenery that is unique to the wild west coast of Scotland.

Oban

The busy holiday town of Oban is only a short ferry ride away with its excellent seafood restaurants, shops and leisure centre. There are a wealth of things for all the family to enjoy on land or on the sea. Known as the “Seafood capital of Scotland”, and the Gateway to the Isles, it is the perfect place for exploring the inner Hebridean Isles, including Mull, Iona and Colonsey.

Just three hours from Glasgow or Edinburgh, and two hours from Stirling, it’s so easy to get here.
