No landings at Stronachlachar this weekend for sail and cycle trips unfortunately

Unfortunately, due to extensive storm damage to our floating steel pontoon at Stronachlachar Pier, the Steamship will not be operating on Friday, 27th and Monday, 30th March. However, there will be circular 2hr and 1hr sailings on the Steamship on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th March, but with no stop at Stronachlachar Pier. Rob Roy 111 will operate daily throughout this period, with 45-minute sailings every hour.

We sincerely apologise for this inconvenience, but with the repair almost complete and the substantial structure due to be re-floated and re-attached to the Pier on Monday, we hope to reintroduce sailings to and from Stronachlachar Pier early next week.
