Arinagour is a village on the island of Coll, in the Inner Hebrides and in Argyllshire. It is the main settlement on the island, and is the island's ferry terminal.[1] The name of the village is from the Gaelic Àirigh nan Gobhar, meaning 'shieling of the goats'.[2])
A ferry operated by Caledonian MacBrayne crosses to Oban and Tiree daily, extending once a week to Castlebay on Barra.
Arinagour has a population of around 50:[3] in 1961 it was recorded as 54.[4]
