Isle of Kerrera Development Trust

Working hard to improve island life for the 68 full time residents and thousands of annual visitors. We love our island home on the west coast of Scotland.

A successful day spent with the wonderful Kerrera community at Old School House who listened about home, boat & water safety plus recruitment 🚒 Thank you to all who visited & took the time to enjoy a cuppa, talking fire service & safety tips!

In the face of extreme adversity, our wee community stepped up and built its own road to connect the island poulations in the North and South of Kerrera. Here's to giving out more fishing rods to groups who can make a difference!

We did it! The new road has been finished! This is a momentous moment in the history of Kerrera, we are no longer a divided island and all residents can now safely access the lifeline ferry... amazing!

Kerrera was somewhere I'd not been before I started researching my book. It has an exceptionally interesting coastline.

@HI_Voices Did you know that two of the oldest fossils in the world were discovered on our coastline? It's also just beautiful...!
