The island's well stocked licensed store and post office is a 5 minute stroll away in the village of Balvicar, and sells local produce including venison, free range eggs and home baking.
Waiting to be discovered the Isle of Seil has great walking, fresh air and stunning sea views. You can enjoy bird watching, sea-kayaking, sailing, fishing, cycling, golf, diving and not forgetting this is a great place to take photographs. Visit the Corryvreckan Whirlpool (the world's 3rd largest), by booking a boat trip from the island with Seafari or Sea Life Adventures.
Whether it’s a peaceful stroll along the shore or enjoying the views at Pulladobhrain anchorage, the Atlantic Bridge or around the whole of Easdale Island, you’ll be inspired by what you see. For wildlife enthusiasts there are seals, otters, porpoises, deer, sea eagles and much, much more. For the energetic, enjoy high point views from the trig point on the ridge, or the almost aerial views from the impressive slate cliffs across Ellenabeich, Easdale Island, Luing and on to the Garvellachs, even Jura, Colonsay and Islay on a good day.
If you do want to eat out and enjoy local seafood and game, there is the characterful Tigh an Truish Inn by the Atlantic Bridge, the Oyster Bar at Ellenabeich where you can watch the sun set, or if you fancy a short trip across the water (4minutes) to Easdale, the charming Puffer Bar. Just a little further away is the new award winning Atlantic Islands Centre on Luing which also offers good food, and sea views alongside interesting local history.
The main town of Oban, seafood capital of Scotland, is 30 minutes away by car or the local bus service. The home of a cult whisky and the impressive McCaig's Tower, it gives excellent access to other Hebridean islands. There’s a good beach at Ganavan Sands, a pleasant 2 mile coastal stroll from the centre of the town. Entertainment comes in the form of the Phoenix 2 screen cinema, the Corran Halls Theatre, evenings at the local pubs, celtic sounds and seasonal ceilidhs.
Other places to visit include the magnificent Glencoe and Ben Nevis, Inveraray Castle, Ben Cruachan, the island of Kerrera, Crinan Canal, Arduaine Gardens, Kilmartin Glen, the coastal villages of Ardfern and Kilmelford, and the home of the very first Scots, Dunadd.
