The Island

The island of Kerrera has been described as a jewel in the Firth of Lorne. Just a few minutes ferry ride away from the mainland of Oban. It offers a peace and beauty that is unique, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Kerrera is an ever-changing landscape from fertile low pastures where the farming tradition goes back hundreds of years - to bog and heathland, small coastal bays and beaches with cliffs and caves - home to a rich tapestry of flowers and wildlife.

This superb small island is only a short boat ride away. As well as Gylen Castle there is a profusion of wildlife, including a seal colony, wild goats and occasional visits from golden and sea eagles. Porpoises, dolphins and otters are also sometimes sighted by visitors to this remarkable island.

Kerrera has much to offer the independent-minded visitor who appreciates wildlife, history and scenery. A trip to the island is incomplete without a visit to Gylen Castle, located on the south coast and a few minutes walk off the main circular island track, and identified by a signpost at Lower Gylen. Built in 1587 and sited above the waves and rocks, it is a dramatic and magnificent place.

The view from the Castle faces down the Firth of Lorne to other Argyll islands, and the atmosphere of isolation and beauty must have changed little over the centuries.

There are plenty of sites to visit and should the weather make it impossible to explore the various site, being stuck indoors might not be that bad. If you click here, you will discover a list of online casinos and casino games for your entertainment.

Tea Garden & Bunkhouse
Teas and refreshments (delicious home cooking) are available at the award winning tea garden near to the castle.
Open 7 days a week from Easter to October.

A full colour guide of the Island is available on the ferry.
