Argyll - Fishermen on the Isle of Colonsay
Scottish Viewpoint
 
Between the north end of Jurah (sic), and Isle Scarba, lies the famous and dangerous gulph called Cory Vrekan, about a mile in breadth; it yields an impetuous current, not to be matched anywhere about the Isle of Britain. The sea begins to boil and ferment with the tide of flood, and resembles the boiling of a pot….. Martin Martin 1716

Islay, Jura and Colonsay

Colonsay is the epitome of an island haven – peaceful and undemanding with long stretches of beautiful sandy beaches inviting the brave to try the crystal clear water. The wild flowers of Colonsay are legendary for their beauty and diversity – and for a sweet assault on the senses that will stay with you long after you leave the island the fragrance and colours of these wildflowers in the summertime have to be experienced to be believed. A dreamer can lose themselves in the bays, lochs and islands that compromise the coast of Islay, whilst although George Orwell said Jura was extremely ‘un-getattable’, the reward for making the effort to get there can be found in the stunning views from the Paps of Jura. Three unique destinations, where a gentle air of tranquillity pervades the very atmosphere of these special island escapes.
