Visitors' Swinging Moorings in our area

Where a precise lat/long is given, this is by GPS, referenced to WGS84, and is to a mooring near the centre of the block. Telephone numbers are given wherever possible for someone overlooking the moorings - usually but not necessarily responsible for them. "p" before the number of moorings indicates that there is a pontoon nearby - there will almost certainly be a (greater) charge for using that.
A number of commercial boatyards offer moorings and/or pontoon berths, but are not included in the table unless they have swinging moorings reserved exclusively for visitors. However links to these yards are appended at the foot. Further details on some locations may be gleaned from www.bluemoment.com/scotmoorings.html.

This information has been compiled from a variety of sources in good faith, but none of it is guaranteed!

If you can help in fixing the exact positions or know of better contacts or other moorings, please use the Report-in Form or eMail.
