Not a dedicated cruise terminal.
A café and general store sit in the Scalasaig harbour area; menus and prices were not verified this pass.
Colonsay is a small Inner Hebrides island between Islay and Mull, known for machair, birch woods, birdlife including the corncrake, and the sweep of Kiloran Bay. Scalasaig on the east coast is the main settlement and ferry harbour. Inland, the woodland gardens of Colonsay House are a frequent cruise shore highlight. The island has a tiny year-round population and a quiet rural character, with a general store, café, brewery and bookshop near the harbour.
Small cruise and expedition ships call for walks, gardens and wildlife rather than town sightseeing. Guests may go ashore via the shared ferry pier when it is free for a visiting ship, or by tender from the bay — arrangements vary by sailing. Check the ship schedule for upcoming calls.
