Location

Thundergay has a superb island location with magnificent views across the Sound of Luing to the Isle of Mull. The house sits within a few metres of the shore on the west coast of this former slate quarrying island which is served by a shop, post office, two village halls, and a Heritage centre with café. The island offers excellent walking, fishing and sailing and is a haven for wildlife. Otters, dolphins and sea eagles are regular visitors. The property is situated on the edge of the delightful conservation village of Cullipool. Until the mid 1960s, the village was one of three locations on the island where slate was quarried before being despatched by boat for use as roofing material across the world. Pretty whitewashed cottages that were once home to the quarry workers still populate the village, whilst the imposing slate walls of the disused quarries provide a dramatic backdrop. In the centre of the village is the island's community hall, which regularly hosts events for locals and visitors, including ceilidhs, concerts and plays. Luing is probably the most accessible of all the Western Isles with a ferry service every 30 minutes during normal operating times. The regular car ferry service across Cuan Sound, taking less than five minutes, connects Luing to Easdale and the mainland. Oban (17 miles) has a good range of shops and professional services as well as secondary schooling and a railway station with regular services to Glasgow. Oban is also the ferry terminal to the Western Isles and a base for sailing. Connel has a small airfield and Glasgow Airport has regular connections to London and a variety of domestic and international destinations.
