Kennacraig is a hamlet and port on the Kintyre peninsula in Argyll, Scotland, providing frequent crossings to the Isle of Islay. The terminal building can be found just off the A83, so follow the road north if driving from Campbeltown. There is also a bus stop located outside the terminal. Inside the main terminal are toilet facilities, a large waiting room and a vending machine offering a range of refreshments. The local peninsula is so picturesque, Paul McCartney wrote his track ‘Mull of Kintyre’ as a tribute to its beauty, so be sure to spend some time exploring the countryside.
The port of Colonsay can be found in Scalasaig, the island’s main settlement on the east coast. The ferry terminal currently provides crossings to Oban on the Scottish mainland and to Port Askaig on the Isle of Islay to the south. Free parking is available next to the ferry terminal for about half a dozen cars and there is a newsagent a short walk away. Inside the terminal building, you’ll find a large seated waiting area and toilet facilities. Scalasaig is home to the island’s only post office, microbrewery, café and hotel, so there’s plenty to see and do during your visit.
