The Old Curing Station and Creel Cabin, Dry Island

Uniquely situated in a Scottish West Coast island paradise, The Old Curing Station and Otter Cabin offer an unrivalled location. Dry Island is a tidal island but accessible at all times by the floating 'bridge over the Atlantic'.
Choose from the beautifully renovated B listed former curing station next to the island's own pier, or the private location of the secluded purpose-built Creel Cabin, with its own BBQ decking area and beach on the other side of the island.
Wildlife encounters are frequent with otters, seals, pine martens and a multitude of seabirds including great northern divers often seen from both properties. There is also an active otter holt and new wildlife walk on the island as well as frequent sightings of the northern lights and meteorite showers in winter.
You can buy the freshest possible shellfish directly from the boat as it is landed by Ian, whose family have fished this area for generations. It is the only fishing station on the West Coast of Scotland still in use today.
Car parking is a short distance away on the mainland; your luggage can be ferried over by boat.
The local inn serving food, fine wines and ales, is directly opposite the island a few minutes' walk across the bridge.
