Port Askaig is a small village on the east coast of Islay, the southernmost island of the Inner Hebrides, Scotland. Askaig offers routes to Colonsay to the north, Kennacraig to the east and to Oban on the mainland, making it one of Islay’s busiest harbours. The port can be found at the northern end of the A846 in the town of Islay, with a bus stop situated outside the terminal, serving the areas of Port Ellen and Ardbeg. The terminal building has a large waiting area where you can relax before you embark. However, if you have time to spare, be sure to wander through the picturesque port village which was voted ‘5th most desirable postcode in Scotland’ by Royal Mail in 2014.
The port of Colonsay can be found in Scalasaig, the island’s main settlement on the east coast. The ferry terminal currently provides crossings to Oban on the Scottish mainland and to Port Askaig on the Isle of Islay to the south. Free parking is available next to the ferry terminal for about half a dozen cars and there is a newsagent a short walk away. Inside the terminal building, you’ll find a large seated waiting area and toilet facilities. Scalasaig is home to the island’s only post office, microbrewery, café and hotel, so there’s plenty to see and do during your visit.
