The Tiree ferry terminal is the westernmost port of the Inner Hebrides, Scotland, sitting on the island’s east coast. As the island’s primary port, it provides frequent crossings to the Isle of Coll immediately to the northeast, and to Oban on the mainland. The terminal can be found just off the B8068 on Pier Road to the northeast of Scarinish, the main settlement on Tiree. Free parking is available outside the terminal building and, inside, you’ll find a spacious waiting area with seats and toilet facilities. This particular area is famed for its Gaelic architecture, so be on the lookout for the fascinating black houses, a traditional thatched home for both families and cattle, during your stay.
A sleepy island predominantly inhabited by fishermen, Oban and Stewart Island is the perfect place for visitors to escape the stress of New Zealand’s busy cities and bask in the beautiful nature synonymous with the island. As well as fishing, the main pastime is birdwatching or animal spotting; along the shoreline lie a myriad of unusual animals such as Cape Pigeons, mollymawks and even penguins can be found dotted around the coast. Whilst witnessing the wildlife in the great outdoors, it makes sense to embark on one of the intriguing walking trails scattered around the beautiful terrain. The views from the top of some of the challenging hills and mountains are breathtaking enough to make the journey there worthwhile. After a long day outside, savour some of the delicious food served at the wide range of restaurants, with seafood typically being the special of the day.
Oban is so small that it is possible to cover the entirety of it by foot, which is the desirable option considering the alluring walking trails and picturesque views.
