The A847 road is one of the two principal roads of Islay in the Inner Hebrides off the west coast of mainland Scotland.
It connects Bridgend, at a junction with the A846 road, with Portnahaven at the southern end of the Rinns of Islay peninsula. It is some NaNmiles long.
The road was completed in 1806 following the route surveyed by John Langlands of Campbeltown.[2]
