You can even have a day out in Oban and return the same day!
Earlier I wrote about a possible ferry from Kintyre to Jura, and for a while no further news came available which gave the impression that this important project for the Isle of Jura was stopped. This proved however to be quite different and a Trial Feasibility Service will now be held from Mon 10th September to Friday 28th September (subject to use and demand). The community of Jura will be operating this Trial Feasibility Passenger Ferry Service to the mainland from Craighouse to Tayvallich at Carsaig Bay Kintyre, to show a possible demand in order to secure funding for a three year seasonal service starting 2008.
*All services will meet with onward public transport to Lochgilphead, Oban and Glasgow. The following timetable is in place:
