There is an 18 hole links golf course and wild trout fishing on the lochs.
For families, Colonsay is a paradise. The island provides an endless array of outdoor activities. From rock pooling, shrimping and building sandcastles to flying a kite and investigating mysterious standing stones. Our single track roads are great for family cycling.
