       KEY

The Island of Lismore (or Lios Mor - The Big Garden) is situated in Loch Linnhe at the southern end of the Great Glen on the west coast of Scotland. The island is ten miles long and about one mile wide with a population of around 157. It is rich in historical sites, flora and fauna and home to the original Cathedral of Argyll, parts of which can still be seen in the Parish Church which has beautiful stained glass and a wealth of local family history in its graveyard.

There is beautiful unrestricted walking throughout the island, a historical 2,000 year old broch, Castle Coeffin known for its Viking connections and the 13th century Achinduin Castle. These castles are in a ruined state but nevertheless are very interesting and stand in magnificent positions.

Buzzards, commonly seen on the telegraph poles, stonechats and herons are always around while hen harriers, wheatears and skylarks are regular visitors.

The fields and roadsides are filled with an ever-changing range of wild flowers starting in spring with primroses followed by wild garlic, meadowsweet, yellow irises and many species of orchids to name but a few to be found on this herb-rich fertile island.

Visitors are welcome to join in the various social activities, most of which are held at the Public Hall.

Located in the crofting and fishing village of Port Ramsay, this refurbished cottage is traditionally built on the shores of the loch. Downstairs is a sitting room with fireplace, dining room with french doors, bunk room sleeping 3 and the modern kitchen. Bathroom with walk in shower and bath on mezzanine floor.

Upstairs, family bedroom (double & single beds) and double bedroom.
