Isle of Kerrera Walking Tour

Embark on a walking tour of Kerrera - Oban’s nearest inhabited island and a key to the power of the Clan MacDougall. This activity will start at Gallanach Ferry terminal, a couple miles south of Oban (accessible by car, taxi or bus),where you will embark on a small boat for a 5–10-minute crossing to the Kerrera. There, you will follow your guide towards the south of the beautiful island, where you will have a chance to enjoy some lunch and refreshments at the lovely cottage tearoom, as well as a chance to explore Gylen Castle, before heading back to the ferry. Beyond Kerrera’s fascinating history, this walking tour will also give you a chance to experience the idyllic Scottish countryside, with sheep, goats, rabbits and different birds in the first blooms of heather.

This activity requites participants to be able to walk for 3-5 hours. Please bring appropriate walking gear (especially sturdy, comfortable shoes),waterproofs and your own bottle of water. It is possible to purchase water from the tearoom of course, but it may take 2 hours to reach.
