CalMac's smallest ferry to Scotland's most underrated island? Join us on a walk around Kerrera.

If you are ever in Oban and fancy a trip to the islands, you might end up on Mull, or even push out further to Coll or Tiree. And why not, these are all wonderful island adventures. But don't dismiss Kerrera, the closest island of them all and a place full of surprises! Caledonian MacBrayne's smallest ferry will take you there from Gallanach in little longer than it takes to boil a kettle. And when you get there you'll feel a million miles from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. Kerrera may well be Scotland's most underrated island, I'll be honest and say I'd never even heard of it until a couple of years ago. Now it's one of my favourite places in the whole country.

Thanks for this beautiful and interesting walk.

    I've never heard of Kerrera, but I have now. What's more you took me there, and I enjoyed it. How about the little 'farm shop' where you serve yourself, make an entry of your purchase, put in your money and take your change. I haven't seen that here in Australia for over fifty years. Once in a tiny service station where I served myself on the honour system, and in little farmer's fruit and vege shop. I've enjoyed a few of your Scotland videos and shall continue to do so.

    Went on holiday with my parents to Oban as we often used to (my Mum was in the Services and there for the duration the second War and had many friends there) and one time we took our boat (around 1955), only a wee one with an outboard and circumnavigated the Island (of Kerrera) . The one thing I remember so clearly was seeing the many seals basking on the rocks, still have a photo of them, and my father also pointed out the concrete slips where the boats were hauled up during the War. Thanks again Steve, brings back happy memories. Heck, how much longer to the Ice Creams!?!?

    My dad told me about how beautiful the place was. He flew a Mustang for the RAAF (Australia ) in an RAF squadron. They used to train up there, and he loved every second of that part of flying. They harassed some Golfers at St Andrews at a very low height golfers diving for the ground.He travelled a lot with his work during the 70’s & 80’s . Always headed to Scotland for a few days with my Mum (a Londoner) if he could. Mustangs were fast so he covered a lot of Scotland. Did mention Loch Ness amongst other places.

    Four minutes? That's quicker than the Woolwich Ferry! I wish we had surroundings like this, too. Once again, Steve, you've found a fascinating subject for one of your very personal-style "blogs", and thanks for bringing it to us. A breath of the Western Isles while we're still restricted in our travel options. I remember my first visit to Oban in 1983 when we were taken by the skipper/owner of the "puffer" VIC32 for a day's cruise aboard the PS "Waverley". We sailed down the Gulf past Kerrera and south to pass through the whirlpools of the Corryvreckan between the north end of Jura, and Scarba before returning to Oban.. We returned some years later to take a three day cruise aboard the last of the"traditional" CalMac ferries, "Columba" on her sailings to Colonsay, Mull and Iona, and Tiree and Coll, the year before she was withdrawn in favour of the big Ro-Ro boats. She's been reincarnated as the "Hebridean Princess", received Royal patronage, and her cruises are far more expensive than the modest £70 we paid for our "full board" passage back then!. I know the Harbour Bar in Oban well, with its extensive range of malt whiskies shelved behind the bar, but I never knew there was a Kerrera ferry!

    Thank you for this lovely video. It brought back memories when I lived in Oban and Kerrera was my island. Have been there many , many times, mostly on bike, or just getting lost on my walks. It was funny when you picked up the hard way to the south. And Gylen castle was just round the corner from Tea garden. Next time take a bike and go to the left from ferry. Cheers for the memories.

    Love your videos. Im using them to plan my next walking trip in Scotland (#4). I Went to Kererra on my last trip and the walk out to Gylen castle and back was excellent. Its my new favorite! The little ferry broke down just before the return journey. But I met some lovely locals who were visiting friends on the island and learned all about the area, sheep farming, village life etc. great way to pass the time till they got the ferry going again. No car for the trip - just bus one way and taxi the other from Oban. Would have walked out to the ferry too but the road is a bit skinny 😬. Great Day tho! 😊😊😊.

    What a gorgeous place and great video! Looked like a fun hike around the island. I love when you include all of the animals that you come across on your travels. It seemed like a very intimate walk, in that you pass right through private property. I'd guess you would want to speak quietly and go through as gently as possible. It looks to be such a magical place though. The path looked easy to walk, the views were stunning, and that tiny ferry was so charming. That's a place to see for sure.
