Ports of Call
Cruise from Greenock
- Arran: “Scotland in miniature” with hills, distillery and castles. Walk the coastal paths or visit Brodick Castle and gardens. Goat Fell beckons on a clear day.
- Islay: Hebridean beaches and famous malts. Tour a distillery or scan the shoreline for wildlife. The pace is gentle and welcoming.
- Isle of Gigha: Small, green and easy to explore. Wander Achamore Gardens or follow sandy bays on foot. Calm corners everywhere.
- Isle of Mull: Colourful Tobermory and wild interiors. Look for sea eagles, visit Duart Castle, or take a shoreline stroll. Views change with every bend.
- Stornoway (Isle of Lewis): Outer Hebrides hub with Gaelic culture. Visit Lews Castle and the museum, or venture to the Callanish Stones—a working town with island character.
- Isle of Skye: Cuillin silhouettes and sea stacks. Explore Portree’s harbour, Kilt Rock or the Quiraing. Weather adds its own theatre.
- Iona: Early Christian site with silver sands. Step into the abbey, then wander quiet lanes. Calm, reflective and unhurried.
- Colonsay: Shell beaches and open skies. Walk to Kiloran Bay or the gardens at Colonsay House. Peaceful and off the beaten track.
