  Island living is a very special thing to experience, though we do have a ferry that runs every 30 minutes and takes 2 minutes to cross. We do quite a lot of boat stuff, be it work ( sheep to other Islands ) or BBQ's and beaching at the weekends. We quite often take the boat over to other Islands such as Mull and Jura.

  Algo más...

  If you wish to make a trip to the islands, ferries run daily from Oban to Colonsay, Coll. Tiree , Mull and Iona. We also have a tent to lend anyone and loads of camping kit. We are very close to Glen Coe and all the beautiful Munros to climb ( a mountain over 3k above sea level, nothing to most Europeans !) such as Ben Nevis the highest mountain in the UK.
  We also have a couple of Kayaks to play with.
  
  Glasgow is a 2 1/2 hour trip on the train or bus and Edinburgh another hour on wards. There are normally friends driving up and down the whole time so a lift is not out of the question.
