The Island of Easdale was historically a slate mining island and the remains of this industry are clearly seen on the island today.  The 7 quarries still remain and are now filled with sea water following the great storm of 1881, and the last slates were mined in 1950. The majority of the  60 odd houses on the island are the original slate miners cottages.

Follow the myriad of paths around the island, or climb up to the top and check out the 360 degree view.

The ferry shed, where it all happens. The ferry operates every half hour- see 'location' page for details. Say hello to Obi the parrot who mimics the sound of the ferry claxon, dogs barking and the sound of squeeky bike brakes to name but a few!

The community hall has a fantastic reputation for putting on gigs, attracting bands from the upper echelons of the folk community. http://www.easdale.org/hall/

An Lionadh is a hop, skip and a jump away from  Easdale's very own pub/restaurant which has won numerous awards. No taxi home required. A play park right next to the pub keeps the nippers happy. It's a win win thing!

A must do trip which departs from the pier at Ellenbeich where you get the ferry to Easdale.  Get on the sea and experience some of the wonderful wildlife this area has to offer, plus a visit to the worlds 3rd largest whirlpool, the notorious Corryvreckan. http://www.seafari.co.uk/

The island is lucky enough to have it's own museum which details Easdale's history in an informative and interesting way.

Some brave people are known to take a dip in the smallest quarry on Easdale. Beautiful clear water which shines blue!
