Fishing
Anglers staying at Coillabus can take advantage of our fishing permit and enjoy the unrivalled peace and tranquility of nearby freshwater lochs including Glenastil and Kinnabus. A boat is also available by arrangement with Port Ellen Angling Club. We have a trout rod for the use of guests on request.
Homecoming
Many families from the Oa emigrated to Canada and The US in the 19th Century and you can still visit the remains of deserted crofts and settlements. Most of these sites are within walking distance of Coillabus. We are delighted to welcome visiting decendents looking to retrace the steps of their ancestors. | | | |
