The Isle of Eigg’s port is in Galmisdale, a small village nestling in the island’s southeast corner. The new ferry terminal was completed in 2004 and consists of a large unattended slipway, so tickets should be purchased on board. Adjacent to the slipway is the terminal building which houses a small waiting area with seats, toilet facilities and a public telephone. Eigg’s most dominant feature, the pitchstone peak of the Sgurr, becomes visible as you approach the harbour, resulting in an impressive backdrop so have your camera at the ready.
Mallaig and its port have a long history, with the town’s name originating from the Old Norse meaning for ‘Bay of the Seabirds’. Set in stunning surroundings, the local railway station is the terminus of the West Highland Line which was used in the ‘Harry Potter’ films as the Hogwarts Express railway line. The port of Mallaig is situated at the northern end of the A380, known as ‘the Road to the Isles’, and provides frequent sailings to Armadale on the Isle of Skye. Free car parking is available outside the terminal building and the nearest bus stop is just a five-minute walk away. Inside the building, you’ll find a seated waiting area with toilet facilities.
