The Local Area

The Isle of Colonsay is a beautiful and unspoilt island in the southern Inner Hebrides, lying to the west of the Argyll mainland. Known for its sweeping sandy bays, dramatic Atlantic coastline and abundant wildlife, Colonsay offers a peaceful island lifestyle while remaining accessible from the Scottish mainland.

The island is reached by ferry from Oban, with regular sailings operated by Caledonian MacBrayne taking approximately 2 hours 20 minutes. Oban lies about 95 miles from Glasgow and approximately 130 miles from Edinburgh. There are also limited scheduled flights to Colonsay from Oban Airport.

Despite its tranquil setting, Colonsay has a welcoming community and a range of local amenities including a shop, hotel, cafe and harbour facilities centred around the village of Scalasaig. Colonsay also benefits from an excellent primary school and a resident doctor.

The island boasts a challenging 18 hole golf course; many of the most wonderful beaches in Scotland (with the opportunity to spot otters and seals); coastal walks to challenge young and old; excellent fly fishing for the native, wild brown trout on the Islands Lochs; and dramatic cliffs, home to thousands of nesting guillemots, terns and seagulls – as well as Golden and Sea eagles. The neighbouring Island of Oransay is connected to Colonsay by a tidal causeway and is home to an historic Priory.
