We also visited Kerrera island on our last trip. It would take to long to do both the north and south walks so we did the north walk. This gives us an excuse to go back next year and do the larger south walk. Kerrera Island is the island across from Oban. The crossing only takes 5 minutes on the smallest ferry that Calmac run the Cavoria. The crossing is two miles south of Oban at Gallanach.
We headed across from Oban and visited the famous lean to shop, were you can buy food, sweets, and hats etc. no one is there and you pay using their honesty box. We then headed for the David Hutchison memorial. He made improvements to steam engines, and his memorial can be seen from accross the water in Oban at the top of a hill.
Word of warning the car park for the ferry was almost full at 8 in the morning with islanders cars. So parking at the ferry terminal may be an issue. The islanders mostly run two cars, one on the island, and one on the mainland.
