THINGS TO DO
For anyone content to build their holiday around the natural amenities of this beautiful island, there is plenty to do.
You can choose from a dozen sandy beaches for picnicking, swimming and shell collecting. The most spectacular beach for surfing is Kiloran Bay.
The gardens at Colonsay House are famous for their huge collection of rhododendrons as well as sun tropical shrubs and trees sourced from the southern hemisphere.
Colonsay is perfect for cycling, even for quite small children, with it's gentle hills and quiet single track road.
There are weekly ceilidhs in the summer, where there is traditional music and Scottish reeling.
The 18 hole golf course is a challenging one and has local rules to allow for rabbit holes and thieving crows.
Our beautiful lochs have plenty of native brown trout for fly fishermen. We hire out boats and life jackets for use on a couple of the lochs.
