Driving on the Isle of Coll

The roads on Coll are all single lane with passing places, although there is one 10m (yes, 10m as in metre, not mile) stretch of dual-carriageway near the top of the island!. Whilst driving is usually free of hassle, please remember that locals sometimes need to travel a bit faster than sightseeing speeds.

Please use passing places to allow others to overtake.

Should you see a car either behind you or coming towards you with flashing headlights travelling atypically fast - it is probably one of the volunteer fire-fighters, volunteer coastguards, the nurse or the doctor on a real emergency.
Please get out of their way. Unlike the mainland, they do not have blue, yellow or green flashing beacons on their cars.

Should you bring a 4x4 to Coll please remember that driving off road means you are driving over someone else's property and much of the off-road on Coll is environmentally sensitive ground.

There is a fuel station is Arinagour (Location) which has limited opening hours. It sells regular unleaded petrol and diesel only. It also stocks a basic range of engine oils and other fluids.
