The fuel station is very close to the pier in Scarinish. Both petrol and diesel are available. It’s self service and you need to take note of how much fuel you have taken, head into the shop, and pay. Note the price is likely to be a little higher than on the mainland due to transportation costs.
The roads on Tiree may look quaint compared to what you’re used to driving on at home but as you will quickly discover they are busy in their own way. Expect to see everyone from bird watchers out for a stroll and families on bikes to tractors and flocks of sheep. The majority of roads are single carriage, meaning there is only enough space for one car at a time. For this purpose, passing places exist (diamond shaped sign). Just pull in the one on your side of the road (not the other side!) and let the vehicle(s) coming toward you pass. If you see headlights and hazard lights you must always pull into a passing place as this means someone is on their way to an emergency.

Passing places are not mini car parks. We know the views are awesome, but don’t be tempted to park in one of these.

You may see cows and sheep on the roads. Common grazing is practised here, which means livestock are free to wander where they please and if you’re driving at night it's good to take your time as the cows can be hard to spot. If a crofter is moving their herd or flock, pull over, switch off your engine and enjoy the Hebridean safari as it moves past.

Everyone has the right to use Tiree roads so when you see cyclists, don't drive past them, just wait for them to pull off to the side of the road or into a passing place. As it's often windy on Tiree they might not hear you so be patient. Finally, neighbours may well stop their cars in front of you to have a chat for a few minutes. That is the beauty of island life!
