Visitors to the Isle of Islay can enjoy its eight working whisky distilleries, and fabulous scenery, seafood and birdlife all within easy reach of the pier. Located on the eastern shore of The Sound of Islay, the Pier is used by the regular ferry to the mainland and also for the vehicular ferry to Jura. A small harbour is accessible at the rear of the link span berth suitable for small craft.
