Craighouse

|
Craighouse is the main settlement and capital of the Scottish Inner Hebridean island of Jura, in Argyll and Bute. In 1971 it had a population of 113. The village is situated on the sheltered east coast of the island at the southern end of Small Isles Bay.
Since 2007, a passenger-only ferry service between Craighouse and Tayvallich on the Scottish mainland has operated during the summer months. 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.
