Lismore is an island of the Inner Hebrides in the county of Argyll and Bute in Scotland.

Get in[edit]

The Lismore Ferry at Port Appin

The island is connected to mainland Scotland by two ferries:

  • The Caledonian MacBrayne passenger and vehicle ferry from Oban to Achnacroish [1]
  • The Argyle and Bute Counil passenger ferry from Port Appin to Point. The timetable for this is also on the Calmac website

Get around[edit]

Getting around Isle Lismore has very few options but you will want to consider hiking the main road, approx. 10 Miles, to enjoy the Island. One post office exists and is the grocery store, post office, liquor store and often a place to ask for a ride from the mail carrier but hiking is recommended. Few cars are on the island and bikes are very much welcomed. Rent a bike in Oban for the day and Ferry over for a wonderful quiet country ride.

Hiking Lismore is the recommended way to visit.
