Tarbert is a hamlet on Tarbert Bay, on the east coast of the island of Jura, in the Inner Hebrides and in Argyllshire. The Tarbert estate is owned by Ginge Manors Estates Ltd.[1]
The name "Tarbert" is a common one amongst the Hebrides: it means "isthmus".
The village is on the A846 about eleven miles from Craighouse. The remains of a chapel are found here, that was dedicated to St Columba.[2]
Tarbert consists of two main areas: the area associated with Rubha nan Crann and the farm overlooking the bay.
