What can I do on Coll ?

What you CAN'T do easily on Coll: 

  • Get stuck at traffic lights
  • Shop 'til you drop
  • Spot trains
  • Read today's newspaper (it usually arrives tomorrow !)

Easy walking and cycling (if you don't bring the car) amidst wild flowers, heather and lochans is popular with many visitors.

Although remote, almost everything you could wish for is available apart from a mobile phone signal and a department store. There is a well-stocked village store, a pottery, a furniture-makers' workshop, an artist's studio - classes can be arranged in advance through the hotel, as can bicycle hire, taxis and golf clubs (the island has a nine hole course used by both locals and visitors).

May-June are the perfect months to hear the elusive corncrake......if you are lucky and Coll is also the perfect place for more active pursuits such as kite-flying, sand sculpture, wind-surfing and boogie-boarding.
