Seil and the island

Things to do

In the cottage there is a library full of ideas for things to do and places to visit in the area. In the meantime we've listed a few of the most popular day trips and visits below to whet your appetite.

Seil

Walking/Wildlife  - There are numerous walks on the island.  Glencoe and Fort William are an easy day trip and there are plenty of beautiful Glens to explore in the surrounding area.  There is an extensive collection of books and maps in the cottage library of favourite walks and good places to eat.

Golf - Balvicar on the island of Seil boasts a unusual nine hole course.

Eating out locally - The Oyster Brewery in Ellenabeich and The Tigh an Truish at the bridge over the Atlantic both serve a varied menu of evening meals.

Surrounding Islands 

Easdale - Take the passenger ferry to Easdale and walk round the island. Have lunch in the Puffer Bar or visit the museum.

Luing - is a larger island, with a car ferry - but the best way to explore it is by bike. Bring your own or hire.

Mull - Just 1hour 15 minutes on the Ferry from Oban . Perfect for a day out spotting wildlife, cycling or walking. 

Take a wildlife watching boat trip:

SeaFari offer fast RIB rides from Ellenabeich. You can even go through the famous Corryvreckan whirlpool.

Sea Life Adventures offer  more conventional boat trips where the scenery and wildlife can be taken in at a slower pace.
