The island cabin meets outside Victoria Street PA20 0AJ. Starts kerbside next to CalMac ferry coaches; sea‑spray can mist mirrors. A steady warm‑up loop along the Esplanade helps.
Parallel parking on High Street is frequent. Independent driving usually heads the A844 along the coast to Port Bannatyne then returns via the hilly A845—prepare for sheep and tourists. Emergency stops on the long Straad straight; mirrors checked at Craigmore bends.
Island mail extends delivery to two weeks. Pass Plus on the mainland M8 Erskine Bridge and A83 Rest‑and‑Be‑Thankful expands big‑road skill.
