Arran Ferry

Scotland is home to more than 790 islands! However, only 93 of them are actually inhabited!

The 10 largest islands are:

  1. Lewis and Harris
  2. Isle of Skye
  3. Shetland
  4. Isle of Mull
  5. Islay
  6. Orkney
  7. Isle of Arran
  8. Jura
  9. South Uist
  10. North Uist

Getting two and from the inhabited islands is pretty easy! For most of the islands, CalMac offers a fantastic ferry service, with multiple crossings a day. To get to the Isle of Skye, there is a bridge that connects the island to the mainland. For the Orkney and Shetland Islands, Northlink Ferries runs a frequent ferry service to and from the islands.
