Everything about Kerrera totally explained
Kerrera is a
island in the
Scottish Inner Hebrides, close to the town of
Oban. In
2005, it has a population of about 35 people and is linked to the mainland by passenger
ferry on the Gallanach Road.
The island is known for the ruined
Gylen Castle, built in
1582. It was also the place where
Alexander II of Scotland died in
1249. The highest point on Kerrera is Carn Breugach at 189 metres. Most of the island is owned by the McDougalls of Dunollie, who are descended from the Scottish Prince Somerled.
The main industry on the island is
farming (Sheep and Highland Cattle) and tourism. There is an excellent Tea Room/Cafe at the south end near Gylen Castle. The castle itself has recently been restored and is now fully open to the public.
