The island of Colonsay lies in the Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland. Fifteen miles to the north lies the island of Mull; the eastern and southern horizons are bounded by the islands of Jura and Islay; and to the south west, just visible from a high point on a clear day, is the coast of Donegal in Ireland. To the west lies the Atlantic, with only the Du Hirteach lighthouse standing between Colonsay and Canada. Together with its semidetatched neighbour Oransay, it forms an island group roughly ten miles long and two miles wide.
Thank you for looking into travelling all the way to this northern corner of Europe and staying at the BisGeos. I hope a visit to this place will give to you what it gave to…
