Scalasaig (Scottish Gaelic: Sgalasaig) lies on the east coast of Colonsay, in the council area of Argyll and Bute of Scotland.
It is the main settlement on the island[1] and its only port; thus tourists arriving by ferry must pass through it on the way to any part of the isle.
It contains the island's shop[2] and post office (in the same building),[3] parish church,[4] microbrewery,[5] doctor's surgery,[6] village hall,[7] cafe and hotel/bar.
[8] The name "Scalasaig" is Norse and means "Skali's bay".
