Where to find us

The Isle of Tanera Mòr is located in North-West Scotland, within The Summer Isles Archipelago, just a mile off the Coigach Peninsula. Although a beautiful and remote location far removed from the rush and clamour of modern life, the Island and local area is extremely accessible,  being just a two hour drive from Inverness and 45 minutes from the attractive fishing village of Ullapool.

Getting Here

Inverness is well connected by air and rail to the rest of Scotland and the UK, whilst various bus services connect Inverness and Ullapool (see links below).           

If driving from Inverness take the A9 towards Dingwall. At the Tore Roundabout take the A835 for Ullapool. Follow the A835 through Ullapool, after approximately 10 miles turn left for Achiltibuie and The Summer Isles.

From this point the road becomes single track, with a good number of passing places, and enters the beautiful scenery of the Coigach Peninsula. After 20 minutes or so you will see Achnahaird Bay (where there is a  sandy beach at low tide) on your right and reach a junction at which you turn left towards Achiltibuie.

When you next see the sea, take the first right turn (a sharp hairpin) and follow the road down past the beach and then round to the left. Take the next left which brings you down to Badentarbet Pier. There the MV Patricia will be waiting to take you and your luggage over to Tanera for the start of your holiday!
