Let Rob or Paul take you to see Barra’s unique tiny airport, where the plane lands on Traigh Mhor (Big Beach). Barra airport is the only one in the world to have scheduled flights landing on a beach, so even if you have flown in it's a sight well worth seeing. See the abandoned village at Balnabodach, and take in the beautiful scenery and wild life that makes Barra what it is.

We were in Barra for a few days and decided last minute to hire bikes to cycle around. Bikes were good quality and functioned well. Given how short notice it was there was excellent availability too. Bikes in the background of my photo ;-)
