Where is the Isle of Gigha cruise port?

Cruise ships do not berth at a cruise pier on Gigha. First-party small-ship itineraries describe landing by Zodiac for walks to Achamore Gardens. The usual visitor focus is Ardminish Bay on the east coast (ferry slip, pontoon and yacht moorings near the village). Google Maps' CalMac Gigha slip pin (55.6784, −5.7335) is a representative bay reference — not a verified Zodiac landing spot. CalMac Tayinloan–Gigha ferry access is not a cruise arrival.

About Isle of Gigha

The Isle of Gigha is a small community-owned Hebridean island off the west coast of the Kintyre peninsula in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, about three miles from the mainland and roughly seven miles long. Ardminish on the east shore is the main settlement, with the CalMac ferry slip, a small pontoon and moorings in Ardminish Bay. The island is known for Achamore Gardens (rhododendrons, azaleas and sheltered woodland plantings), quiet beaches, farmland and low rocky hills.

Small-ship cruise lines call for garden and shore walks; passengers typically land by Zodiac rather than using the CalMac vehicle ferry. The ferry is mainland access only — not a cruise arrival.

Climate
Mild maritime western Scotland / southern Hebrides climate. Along exposed coasts such as Kintyre and the Hebrides, Met Office regional guidance describes relatively mild conditions with a small annual temperature range, February often the coldest month, few air frosts on the islands, and comparatively sunny low-lying coasts and islands. There is no Met Office climate-averages station on Gigha itself.
