Bermuda? Bahamas? or maybe it's Barbados? Could it be Mauritus? or the Maldives, St.Lucia or the Seychelles?

No this is not the Caribbean, nor the Indian Ocean, it's a small island off the West Coast of Scotland, simply known as "COLL". These are the Cairns of Coll

A well travelled, seafaring gent, recently said to me that this is his most favourite place on earth. I think he's got a point!!

RUSH HOUR ON COLL - Fall under the spell of the "No News, No Shoes" ethic here on Coll

Surrounded by the azure blue waters of the Hebridean sea is a tiny island of outstanding natural beauty. This is the Island of Coll.

CLICK HERE TO Visit Coll, Isle of Coll, Scotland

Coll is a small inner Hebridean Island, approximately 13 miles long and 3 miles wide.

It is a thriving island, with a growing population of around 200 people. Every year this very special and unique island welcomes visitors from all over the world.

Most visitors arrive on the Caledonian Macbrayne Ferry which leaves Oban every day during the summer, reducing to 4 days, then 3 over the winter period.

The journey time is about 3 hours depending on which Boat is used. The Clansman being the bigger of the two, the smaller boat is Lord of the Isles.

Sailing through the Sound of Mull, past the colourful houses in Tobermory, passengers enjoy some stunning scenery and may even catch a glimpse of a Minke whale, basking shark or dolphin.

As The Calmac ferry approaches Coll the beautiful beaches are hidden from sight by a craggy outcrop of rocks. But in a short while delight upon delight will unfold before your eyes.

THIS IS FEBRUARY 2008 !!!!

Coll has much to offer the visitor in search of peace, tranquillity and an escape from the stresses of everyday life.

The island is renowned the world over for its friendly, helpful people, community spirit, award winning restaurant, rare flora and fauna, wildlife and especially the beautiful beaches.

ISLE OF COLL, I LUV COLL, I LOVE COLL

*********************************************************

Sailors, divers, fishermen, botanists, and apparently photographers all adore Coll.

And why not?

The turquoise waters around the island are crystal clear and slightly warmed due to the Gulf Stream.

Yachts are moored in the Bay with sailors coming ashore to dine at the award winning Coll Hotel. Highly recommended by all who eat there.

Fishing - Brilliant !! with shoals of fat juicy mackeral to catch. An added bonus is what you will see whilst out there fishing in a boat. Baskings sharks, dolphins, and occasionally, a pod of Killer Whales, (Orcas).

Children enjoy the freedom which Coll offers and a favourite past time is collecting cockles and mussels from the bay at low tide. There are also rock pools where children can go shrimping and will play for many a happy hour with just a fishing net costing a few pence.

Come with me, and let me take you on a journey around Coll. But beware, like others before you, including myself, you will be captivated and beguiled, compelling you to return, year after year to this beautiful island.

The beauty of this island is simply breath taking.
