Top 10 Things to do Adventurous in The Hebrides, Scotland

September 4, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

This beautiful archipelago, where Scottish Gaelic is still spoken, is divided into the Inner and Outer Hebrides and stretches the length of Scotland's west coast. The most visited and largest of the Western Isles is the brooding Isle of Skye, a short ferry ride or bridge away from the mainland. Islay, home to prolific whisky production, is another gem. Highlights of the less visited Outer Isles include stark Lewis and the town of Stornoway, rugged Harris, with sandy beaches and tranquil Barra.

If this isn't on your bucket list then you need to rewrite it. Yes, we were very fortunate with the weather (dry, sunny, not too much wind) and but it would be breath taking in any weather. Atmospheric, inspiring, dramatic, magnificent. I almost want not to review it so it will be left for me to visit alone.

This area has appeared in many films an TV series, and when you see the view you can understand why. The area is easily reached, there’s a pay car park and a short walk to reach a viewpoint with stunning views (weather permitting) You can walk further if you’ve got the kit for walking in the Scottish Highlands.
