Situation
Ceol Mara is situated on the charming west coast of Scotland, on the Inner Hebridean island of Gigha. Gigha is 2.8 miles west of the Kintyre peninsula with an hourly ferry service, crossing c20 minutes. The property is situated on an elevated site with spectacular southerly views of the island, sea, and Kintyre peninsula.
Gigha is well known for the famous Achamore Gardens. The island has a primary school, shop, post office, hotel with bar, Michelin guide recommended restaurant, and a church with regular services.
There is a well maintained 9-hole golf course. The island offers wonderful opportunities to sail, paddleboard, canoe, snorkel, fish and walk. There is a recently upgraded pontoon and mooring.
Gigha has its own grass airstrip which is near the south end of the island lying in an east/west direction. The airfield can be used by private planes and microlights.
On the mainland, the town of Campbeltown is 19 miles to the south and has two major supermarkets, garages, a full range of shops and professional services, a secondary school, an A&E hospital with an emergency air-ambulance service to Glasgow, leisure facilities (including a modern swimming pool), library and a cinema. There are flights from Glasgow to Campbeltown.
Tarbert is 19 miles north and has good local shops and services. From Tarbert, there are ferry links to Islay, and to Portavadie which gives access to an alternative route to Glasgow via Dunoon and Gourock.
The west of Scotland is world famous for its scenic sailing waters. The area around the Mull of Kintyre leads to the protected waters of Loch Fyne, the Firth of Clyde, and the scenic Kyles of Bute. To the north of Gigha is the spectacular west coast with its numerous sea lochs, and the other Hebridean islands. On a clear day the north coast of Ireland is visible.
Productive sea fishing from shore and boat is available locally and there are trout and salmon opportunities by permit in surrounding islands, mainland rivers and hill lochs.
Gigha
Gigha is the most southerly and one of the most beautiful of the Hebridean Islands. Seven miles long by a mile and a half wide, Gigha is situated three miles west of the Kintyre peninsular, approximately three hours’ drive from the City of Glasgow, with a regular 20 minute roll-on roll-off ferry. Gigha is easily described as breathtaking with sandy beaches, clear blue green seas and a host of wildlife. The climate is pleasantly mild as a result of the Gulfstream.
The History of Gigha
Step ashore on the Isle of Gigha and you are following in the tracks of the Scots who settled on Kintyre and the Hebrides from Ireland, of the Vikings who plundered those settlements from distant Scandinavia, and of the Norse King Haakon, who gave the isle its name, Gudey, the Good Isle or God’s Isle. The Gaels changed the name to Gigha as time passed.
Around 1493 Gigha came into the possession of the family of MacNeill of Taynish. The family fought many bitter disputes with the Macdonald Clan to hold onto the island until finally selling it in 1790 to another branch of the Clan Neill, the MacNeills of Colonsay. Thereafter the island has had many owners - the Scarletts, Allens, Hamers - until in 1944 it was sold to Sir James Horlick, when the story of the creation of the famous gardens of Achamore began. The Isle of Gigha Heritage Trust now owns much of the Isle of Gigha, including Achamore Gardens.
The small island of Cara, to the south has remained the property of the MacDonalds of Largie, the last link with the Lord of the Isles.
There are still McNeills amongst the 160 Gigha inhabitants.
