Planning a Trip

Getting There -- Take a ferry to Gigha from Tayinloan, halfway up the west coast of Kintyre. Sailings are daily and take about 20 minutes, depositing you at Ardminish, the main hamlet on Gigha. The round-trip fare is £21 ($39) for an auto plus £5.60 ($11) per passenger. For ferry schedules, call tel. 08705/650-000 in Kennacraig.

Visitor Information -- There's no local tourist office, so ask at Campbeltown on the Kintyre Peninsula.

Getting Around -- Because most likely you'll arrive without a car and there's no local bus service, you can either walk or call Oliver's Taxi at tel. 01583/505-251.
