Craignure Mull Ferry Terminal

Craignure Mull Ferry Terminal serves as the primary gateway to the Isle of Mull, connecting the island to Oban on the Scottish mainland. Situated on Mull’s east coast, the terminal is a bustling hub for both foot passengers and vehicles, with Caledonian MacBrayne (CalMac) operating frequent ferry services. The journey from Oban typically takes around 50-55 minutes, offering scenic views of the coastline, with the dramatic Duart Castle often being the first landmark to come into view as the ferry approaches Craignure.

The terminal area provides essential facilities for travelers, including a waiting room, ticket sales and enquiries desk, and disabled-accessible toilets. While the terminal itself has limited amenities, additional services such as a shop, post office, and a café are conveniently located within a short walk in Craignure village. Parking options are available, with both pay-and-display spaces adjacent to the terminal and free parking a couple of hundred meters down the road. Local bus services often connect with ferry arrivals, providing onward travel to destinations like Tobermory in the north and Fionnphort for ferries to Iona.

Craignure’s significance extends beyond its role as a ferry port; it’s a small, friendly village that acts as a convenient base for exploring Mull’s diverse attractions. Visitors can easily access historical sites like Duart Castle and the nearby Torosay Castle (via a narrow-gauge railway from Craignure), or venture further to discover the island’s spectacular scenery, abundant wildlife, and rich cultural heritage. The ongoing project to replace the existing terminal infrastructure highlights a commitment to enhancing connectivity and resilience for Mull’s transport links.
