Gaelic Ring: Islay Introduction
Situated on the Kintyre Peninsula and on West Loch
Tarbert, Kennacraig is the departure point
for the Ring that comprises the islands of Islay and
Colonsay and the ferry crossing from Colonsay to the
West Highland town of Oban, often referred to as the
‘Gateway to the Isles’. Port Ellen and Port Askaig
are the alternative landing points on Islay and it’s
from Port Askaig on the east side of the island that
the ferry sails to Scalascaig on Colonsay and on to
Oban.
This Gaelic from Kennacraig to Islay, viewing the
Kintyre Peninsula and the islands of Arran, Gigha
and Jura and travelling to Port Ellen also affords
splendid views to Northern Ireland’s Antrim Coast.
The sea crossing to Colonsay is spectacular and
Kiloran Bay to the north of the island is stunning
in every way and well worth a visit. The ferry
crossing to Oban also takes in dramatic scenery and

this very lively and popular destination. This tour includes; Self drive car rental, all ferry tickets for two passengers with medium sized car.
