World Stone Skimming Championships

The World Stone Skimming Championships: EASDALE

Easdale Island

, home to a small but thriving community of stone skimmers, is situated 16 miles south of Oban, Argyll.

The island is reached by means of a 5 minute passenger ferry journey across from Ellenabeich on the adjacent Isle of Seil (which is itself connected to the mainland via the famous 'Bridge over the Atlantic). The ferry is called by pressing the buttons in the ferry shed on the pier at Ellenabeich. See below for ferry timetable

Please note - unfortunately there is no camping on the island, nor in the village of Ellenabeich where the ferry to Easdale Island leaves from. The nearest camp site is in Oban. The ferry is a passenger ferry only and it is unable to carry vehicles to the island.

For information about local accommodation, see www.easdale.org/hall/accommodation.htm.
