Islands in the Firth of Lorne

Fascinating information about the abandoned islands of Scarba and Belnahua, from the Lonely Isles website.

Easdale in the Firth of Lorn, about 15 miles south of Oban, is the smallest permanently-inhabited island of the Inner Hebrides.

Remote islands West of Luing, the name means 'Isles of the Sea'. Difficult to reach but worth it for the views and historic monuments.

A selection of excellent walks across mainland and island Argyll, based in Oban. Islands include Kerrera, Lismore and Jura.

Well designed site with excellent gallery, 'What's On' section, local news, a history section, travel information and much more.

Luing is a tranquil paradise, with stunning views to Mull, Scarba, the Garvellachs and the many other small islands that surround it.

Kerrera shelters Oban from the sea. The ferry is 2 miles S. of Oban on the Gallanach Road. Walks, teagarden, bunkhouse, Gylen Castle.

Ferries to Lismore run from Oban in the South and Port Appin in the North. Cars from Oban only, but why not leave it on the mainland?

Famous for its Luing cattle, the island is reached via the Cuan Ferry from Seil. Unsdiscovered Scotland page.

This large and beautiful island is easily reached by CalMac ferry from Oban to Craignure or up the Sound of Mull toTobermory.

Account of a day trip from Oban to Mull, Staffa and Iona. Lots of detail and pictures.

Now there is a Seil Directory as a companion guide to this one. Check out the photo gallery for some excellent pictures.

Shuna is approximately 3 miles long, and one and a half miles wide, situated, between the mainland and its larger neighbour of Luing.
