Travelling in Scotland by Ferry

Scotland has over sixty inhabited islands, and nearly fifty of them have scheduled ferry links. Most ferries carry cars and vans, and the vast majority can - and should - be booked as far in advance as possible.
There are many ferry operators throughout Scotland that provide regular service to Islands. The following companies are the larger ferry service providers:

Hebridean and Clyde Ferries – The Caledonian MacBrayne Ferries, better known as CALMAC operate a regular service to the Western Isles.

Shetlands and Orkney Islands Ferries – Northlink operates from both Aberdeen and John O’Groats to the Shetlands and Orkney Islands.
