Scotland has over 790 islands, many of which can be found off the west coast. Ferries ply the routes between these islands, and a few can also be reached by air.
Some tour highlights
- Flying into the Isle of Barra in a tiny plane and landing on the beach
- Exploring the clear waters and fine white powder beaches of the island of Iona, a site of pilgrimage since St Columba established an abbey on the island in AD 563
- Head to the Outer Hebridean island of Lewis and Harris, a place of windswept moorland and deserted beaches. Visit pre-historic sites such as the superb standing stones at Calanais, thought to date from around 3000 BC.
- The Isle of Skye is always popular with visitors and it’s not hard to see why – stunning mountain scenery, inlets, bays and lochs, tiny villages and thousands of years of history are yours to discover.
