Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.

An experience to do! An abbey well preserved in a spectacular location. You can reach it by ferryboat admiring the three bridges.

Part of my husband's birthday experience, we went yesterday with two friends. We loved it. We were lucky that the weather was not great, so it was quite quiet. The custodians and the Historic Scotland staff were friendly and informative. Absolutely worth a visit.

Visited as part of the Forth boat tour. Fantastic to visit this island and soak up the history of the abbey and the connection to the two World wars.
A shop selling souvenirs. Hot/ cold drinks and snacks / ice cream is on the island but plenty of people had brought picnics with them and there are plenty of seats and picnic tables. A great place also to see seabirds. Well worth a visit. It’s free for Historic Scotland to visit and members also get a 20% discount in the shop. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Booked the 3 bridges boat tour & they announced if you wanted to visit the island you had to buy a landing pass at £7.50. So
I thought we’d give it a go, well I wish I hadn’t bothered, there’s only the ruins of an old abbey to see & the stairs to the tower are so narrow, they’re almost impossible to navigate unless you’re anorexic, the island is mostly a nesting site for seagulls, other than that there’s a toilet block with no running water to wash hands & an expensive gift shop selling coffee. & snacks

Thanks for leaving a review. We are disappointed to hear the site did not live up to expectations.
The admission price or Landing charge is clearly displayed on either boat operators websites, before visitors board the boat and mentioned by the commentary. We find that most visitors find the site good value for money, and generally visitors are delighted by how much is here and the preservation and presentation efforts of the Abbey and island. The stairs are certainly narrow and this warning is provided to visitors, but most of our visitors find these manageable.
Of course gulls are the predominant species at the site, but the site is also home to a real variety of breeding wildlife such as puffins, curlew, kittiwake, oystercatchers, fulmars and seals.
There is no running water in the toilet as we are an island with no connection to the mainland so running water is not possible, hand sanitiser is provided as the best available option.
The gift shop has a range of products to suit all budgets, and we think the coffee prices are value for money being £1.50-£2 for a coffee, especially on an island without mains water and all supplies having to be brought by boat.
Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review.

Visited Inchcolm Island and Abbey with friends, and it was a fantastic experience! The boat trip itself offers stunning views of the Firth of Forth, setting the perfect tone for the adventure ahead. The island's natural beauty is breathtaking, with lush landscapes and diverse wildlife.
The real highlight, however, is the Inchcolm Abbey. Steeped in history, the abbey is remarkably well-preserved, and exploring its medieval architecture was like stepping back in time. The information boards provided fascinating insights into the abbey's past and the monks who lived there.
We enjoyed a peaceful picnic while taking in the serene surroundings and panoramic views of the coastline. It's a perfect spot for history buffs, nature lovers, and anyone looking for a unique, peaceful escape. Highly recommend this hidden gem in Scotland!

A great little island
The Abbey is in very good condition for its age and given its history
The island is fun to explore with it’s bird life and WW2 history

We visited as part of a boat trip and it’s was very good. Clambering all over the abbey was great fun. The trip up the tower was interesting we say - not for the claustrophobic or folk vertigo like me but I’m glad I managed it.
NTS staff on island very extremely friendly and helpful. Yes we did go in May not realising the issue with the gulls and it was quite scary walking out to the fortifications to be fair. You don’t need to worry if you stick to the abbey though.

The priory gives some good exploration, don't miss the tiny spiral staircase that gives you access to the tallest tower for views across the island.
It's a scenic island, we didn't manage to spot seals or puffins, despite going to the Western end where a small puffin colony had arrived for the season. The headlands are worth exploring at each end anyway, despite the gulls getting a bit noisy. Apparently taking a long stick and holding it above your head is the way to go as if the gulls do attack then they will go for that!

Really good 1-2 hour visit. We visited as part of the 3 bridges cruise and stopped here for a couple of hours. The inchgnome island next to the docks was brilliant. On the island we were lucky with the weather and also the time of year. Don’t go in May is the advice of the guides there. 1000s of seagulls on the island and it’s their breeding season. We went in April and they were just noisy and telling us off, apparently in May they divebomb, which will make that trip a long one as not much to do other than walk round the abbey and climb to the highest point. The guides on the island were really friendly and helpful also.

3 of us opted to visit Inchcolm Island our main aim was to visit the highest point on the island all 31.5m of it. The boat trip to the island was superb with lots of local facts thrown in by the commentary. The boat times limit the time on the island and we had the best part of a couple of hours to explore. First we went to the western end (highest point) taking plenty of photo's. Then we explored the Abbey, the history is amazing and the buildings are in great condition considering how old some of them are. The highlight was squeezing up the spiral staircase to the viewing area on the tower. We then headed to the eastern part which has plenty of WW2 concrete remains, the highlight on that side of the island is a tunnel which is about 30m long and would be great fun for children to explore. We visited the island in late April, the gulls were very active & were busy nesting and not overly aggressive, however that will change once the chicks arrive. The return boat trip takes you under all 3 bridges which makes for some great photos. Thoroughly recommend.

Do you have to go to Edinburgh from Cupar by train to get to
Inchcolm Abbey?
Skrevet 11. juli 2023
Is there any shelter on Inchcolm Island if the weather is bad?
Skrevet 30. september 2021
Not a lot! There is the small museum, a bit of shelter outside the toilets and some parts of the Abbey have a roof but, generally, I would not like to be there waiting for a boat for any length of time if the weather was inclement.

What is the best way to get to the ferry from either Glasgow or Edinburgh without a car?
Skrevet 25. september 2018
I’d use a bus. Much cheaper
Skrevet 20. oktober 2018
How accessible is it to someone with limited mobility? Not a wheelchair user.
Skrevet 30. august 2018
This is not a place where a wheelchair person would be able to take in the site to it's fullest however, someone with limited mobility (cane, walker or, just some difficulty walking) should if they are careful and take their time be able to enjoy most of this site. The upper floors would be difficult to access as they are up stairs only and the stairs are uneven rock. The pathways are gravel and the main floor interiors are all rock floors. There is some unevenness but with care it should not be a problem. The other consideration is how well the person can see. There is a lot of moving from bright light into deep shadows and much of the interior is in shadows so this could pose a problem for someone with limited mobility and limited sight.
Hope this is helpful

After reading the reviews I am a bit wary of the gulls attacking ( I do live in Australia with swooping magpies, not nice at all) when is the best time to visit without worrying about swooping birds.
Skrevet 13. april 2018
Was just there and it’s nesting season... so long as we didn’t go into the nesting areas we were fine. Explored the whole Abbey and lots of the island without any issue.

Ciao! volevo sapere se è possibile fare il tour a gennaio
Skrevet 6. januar 2018
Ciao, i tour dovrebbero essere attiva da Pasqua a settembre credo. Ma negli altri mesi dell'anno non mi sembra proprio che ci siano tour attivi. Anche sulla pagina di Maid of the forth non sono riportate date attuali e usciranno quelle nuove per il 2018 a fine gennaio.
Skrevet 6. januar 2018
how much time do you visitors need to give justice to the experience? How often do the ferries run? thank you
Skrevet 2. juni 2017
A couple of hours would be fine to see everything but if it is a nice day you may want to spend more time, the beach is actually very sheltered.
There are toilets and a tea-room although we took a picnic that the seagulls were very interested in!

Bonjour,
Je vais en Ecosse au mois de février et j'aimerais visiter l'abbaye d'Inchcolm.
Pouvez-vous me dire comment je peux m'y rendre depuis Edimbourg ?
Merci à vous.
Skrevet 20. september 2016
Bonjour vous pouvez prendre un train depuis la gare d'Édimbourg jusqu'à south queensferry (environ 15 mn) et descendre en gare de dalmeny. Depuis la gare en face de la sortie un petit sentier vous amène jusqu'au quai (5mn). De là vous avez les bureaux de la compagnie pour achetez vos billets. Précisez bateau + visite de l' inchcolm (37£). Durée totale 3h ( bateau + 1h30) sur l' inchcolm. Nous vous conseillons le pub hawes inn sous le pilier du pont forth bridge c'est excellent! Bonne ballade dans ce fabuleux pays et n'hésitez pas si vous avez d'autres questions.

Hi Anita , Ferry fares are £13 per adult and entrance to abbey is £5.50 so it would be a total of £18.50 for the whole excursion.
Kind regards.
