Welcome to Castlebay Scotland
 The
village of Castlebay is the main village on the Isle of Barra in the Outer
Hebrides of Scotland.
It is located on the south coast of the island, and overlooks a bay in
the Atlantic Ocean, as well as nearby islands such as Vatersay.
Most visitors to Barra will find themselves in Castlebay sooner rather
than later, enjoying its beautiful setting, relaxed atmosphere and friendly
residents.
The village is home to one of the important transport hubs of the island
- the main ferry terminal. Steam ferries were known to be travelling between
Castlebay and Oban in the late 1800s, albeit with notorious travelling
conditions. In the 1980s, a roll-on-roll-off car ferry terminal was finally
built in Castlebay, allowing much larger ferries to arrive on Barra. The
ferry travels daily between Oban, Castlebay and Lochboisdale on the island
of South Uist, sometimes stopping on the Isle of Mull.
The island's ringroad, the A888, connects Castlebay to the rest of the
island by road.
