ANNOUNCEMENTS

NEW: There is a new Calendar of Events so you can plan your holiday around it!

There is a new Colonsay & Oronsay Forum which is intended for the sharing of news, views and information. If you can recommend a good B&B in Oban, or want to know when to see the first Corncrake, want to contact other descendants of the "Economy" emigration or suggest that the islands should become teetotal - this is for you!

Bookings for 2010 ...

Reservations from Easter through September are now in full swing. There are still vacancies for late April - please check the availability page and also follow the links where properties offer detailed charts. For special bargains see last-minute cancellations too.

Colonsay and Crianlarich ...

The Byrne family - residents of Colonsay since 1978 - purchased The Crianlarich Hotel. Kevin and Christa will be staying here in Colonsay, but resident manager Nigel Bird will welcome you on your way to or from the island. Nigel says that he has set up a special "Colonsay" discounted rate; there are also deals on LateRooms.com and Bookings.com

Crianlarich is a convenient stopping point for either Glasgow or Edinburgh and is surrounded by magnificent scenery - you might care to climb one or two Munros if you have time to spare.
