Looks like a long bus ride.. and with bikes??

Is Kennacraig the only place to get a ferry from?
Alternative?:
Could ride 60k Glasgow to Ardrossan:

Ferry to Brodick.
Ride 20k from Brodick to Lochranza:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=brodick&daddr=lochranza&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=55.660158,-5.18898&sspn=0.29941,0.891953&ie=UTF8&z=12
Ferry from Lochranza to Claonaig.
Ride 10k from Claonaig to Kenncraig:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Claonaig&daddr=Kennacraig,+Argyll+and+Bute,+UK&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=55.806491,-5.50106&sspn=0.149145,0.445976&ie=UTF8&z=13
Then ferry to Islay.
Just thinking of avoiding what looks like a long bus ride and getting more riding in.
No idea how much the ferries are.
Also, it's only 700k from London to Glasgow.. HTFU..
