Craighouse

Craighouse (Scottish Gaelic: Taigh na Creige[1]) is the main settlement and capital[2] of the Scottish Inner Hebridean island of Jura, in Argyll and Bute.

[3] The village is situated on the sheltered east coast of the island at the southern end of Small Isles Bay, on the Sound of Jura.

Since 2007, a passenger-only ferry service between Craighouse and Tayvallich on the Scottish mainland has operated during the summer months.

[4] This service was resurrected by the community after several decades without a direct mainland ferry.

Vehicular access to the island now via a small ferry between Feolin on Jura (eight miles or thirteen kilometres south of Craighouse via road) and Port Askaig on neighbouring Islay.
