Drive the Kintyre peninsula, take ferries to the garden island of Gigha, then cross to whisky island Islay and wild Jura – one of Scotland’s finest island-hopping overland adventures.

Approx. 250–320 miles including ferry crossings. Allow 5 days / 4 nights.

• Kintyre peninsula and the Mull of Kintyre
• Isle of Gigha – the most southerly inhabited Hebridean island
• Islay – home to eight whisky distilleries including Laphroaig and Ardbeg

Islay has a small number of formal campsites near Port Charlotte and Bowmore. Wild camping on Jura is exceptional and very remote – come fully self-sufficient. Gigha has a small campsite near the hotel.

• Book all CalMac ferries in advance – Islay routes are busy year-round
• Distillery tours on Islay must be pre-booked; some are closed on Sundays
• Jura has almost no facilities beyond the Craighouse hotel and shop – carry food and fuel
• The Corryvreckan whirlpool can be viewed from the northern tip of Jura – tides dictate timing

May to September. Islay’s distilleries host festivals in May and October – check schedules. Summer brings long evenings and clearer Atlantic views.
