What to do and see in The Hebrides, Scotland: The Best Islands
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.

We arrived on Staffa in near perfect conditions, the place is a must see with the rock formations and the bird life, the added bonus for us was a pod of bottle nosed dolphins on our way to the island.

The ferry to Kerrera is some 10 minute’s drive south out of Oban, parking is limited so ensure you arrive early. You have to pay to use the ferry and only cards are accepted. The ferry will run until all those waiting have been transferred. On disembarking we walked anti clockwise around the island, it did rain on a couple of occasions but on the whole, it was dry and on occasions the sun came out!! The walk is about 6 or 7 miles, on a variety of road farm track and muddy paths, with a steepish rise at one point, so wear good quality walking boots. Just over halfway round we stopped for our packed lunch at a beautiful spot overlooking the mainland. On our way back to the ferry we did a short diversion to Gylen Castle which is definitely worth a visit.

Lovely family who run the business, always happy to help and equip us! Hired wetsuits for the full 2 weeks of our stay in Tiree and booked x4 blocks of surf lessons for the fortnight! Will be returning to them when we are next here.

If you don't have much time to visit Barra or dont want to spend alot on accomodation then try this round trip I did last week. Leave Glasgow Airport at 10.15 on a flight to Barra beach airport. A small plane that lands on Barra beach. Its only £70 but includes entrance to the lounge at Glasgow airport! After the 1 hour flight and spectacular landing on thd beach, an island service bus runs round the island to Castlebay where the Calmac ferry leaves at 14.30. This gives an excellent taste of the island and gives time for a look around and lunch before departure. However the 14.30 ferry only goes on a Wednesday and travels to Oban stopping at Tiree and Col. This itself is a superb trip seeing dolphins etc and stopping at some beautifull islands arriving at 21.30. The ferry has a very good restaurant! At Oban there is a new Premier Inn reasonably priced at about £50 per room right next to the ferry terminal. I then took the train the next morning to Oban. Again a stunning trip in itself. Booking ahead this can be very cheap! Enjoy.
