9 Port Ellen (Islay) to Oban Print E-mail

Someone with local knowledge suggested this route... he says it is wonderful scenary... I expect so and can't wait! The route makes sense as it avoids most of the places with strongest currents or whirlpools and overfalls.

East of Jura, Sound of Cuan and inside Easdale... looks great fun!
