Barra by boat
Caledonian MacBrayne connect Barra with the Oban on the mainland, Eriskay and Lochboisdale on South Uist. ScotRail trains and Citylink coaches to and from Glasgow connect with the ferries in Oban.
The Summer 2010 schedule is as follows:
Oban - Castlebay : daily, taking 5+ hours. An additional sailing on Thursday travels via Coll and Tiree.
Eriskay - daily, up to 5 per day, taking 40 minutes; this ferry lands at the north end of the island, and there are often (but not always) connecting buses to Castlebay. The first sailing on Sunday is request-only: passengers should telephone the Lochboisdale office by 14.00 on the Saturday before.
During the winter (October - March) the Oban - Castlebay service operates only four days a week, with train connections from Glasgow on certain days only.
