About Isle of Colonsay

The Isle of Colonsay is a relatively small landmass, sitting north of Islay, and south of Mull, within the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. Held in high regard for its natural beauty and varied wildlife, Colonsay’s accolades include award-winning hotels, internationally acclaimed archaeological sites, including a Mesolithic nut shelling pit, and the most hours of annual sunshine in Scotland. It also has some of the very best beaches in the country, making it an unbeatable British summer holiday destination. Moreover, oyster-farming, honey-making, brewery tours and arts and crafts lessons are all common activities you can enjoy during your stay on the ‘Jewel of the Hebrides’. The Isle of Colonsay’s main port is in Scalasaig on the east coast, which is accessible from both the Scottish mainland and the Inner Hebrides, with daily ferry routes from Oban and the Isle of Islay.
