Oronsay Priory, a medieval ruin on the Isle of Oronsay, founded in the 14th century, was a religious centre and burial ground, showcasing Gothic architecture and historical significance.

Not to be confused with Oronsay Island off of Skye, Oronsay Nature Reserve or the Isle of Oronsay is an incredibly special and beautiful remote island to visit. A tidal island just off of the Isle of Colonsay, the entire island is a nature reserve and only accessible during low tide for a maximum of two hours, on either side of low water. Because of this, make sure to plan your trip in advance and be aware that you may need to wait a few hours for the tide to be able to cross again. On the island you'll be surrounded by wild, natural beauty from every corner, the Oronsay Priory, a 14th century Augustinian ruin, and stunning beaches & caves.

Kiloran Bay Beach is essential when visiting Colonsay, as it promises a tranquil escape to the remote beauty of the Isle of Colonsay with its clear blue waters, sandy shores, and lush green surroundings.

A visit to Kiloran Bay Beach is an absolute must, even though you have to ride down a dead end road to reach it. Luckily, there are so few roads on the island so you'll have plenty of time to enjoy a pitstop and a swim.

A beautiful Georgian House, the gardens of which are open to visitors during the summer. Although not native to Scotland, the site boasts the largest collection of rhododendrons in the country as well as a walled garden, woodland walks and a cafe.

An amazing arc of golden sand at the north of the island. Well worth a ride to visit and have a swim, picnic or just a break to watch the waves. There are only about 15miles of road on the island, so any ride is fairly leisurely and you have time to stop :-) For a good view walk up the highest hill on the island, Carnan Eoin at the far end of the beach.

A welcoming hotel and restaurant which is open to non-residents and close to the ferry port - an ideal base for a comfortable stay on the island. The hotel can also arrange for a hire bike if you don't bring your own and would like to explore the island's roads.

Scalasaig is probably going to be the arrival and departure point for any ride on Colonsay. Arrive here on the CalMac ferry from either Oban in about 2hrs 20mins or Port Askaig on Jura in 70mins. Ferries are regular but can be affected by the weather so it's best to check before traveling. It's also worth booking ahead if there is a large group of cyclists as space is a bit limited. https://www.calmac.co.uk/article/2127/Colonsay
