The Island of Skye is the largest and northernmost of the Scottish Inner Hebrides, widely regarded as one of Europe’s top island destinations. A land of geological wonders and incredible biodiversity, Skye has everything you need for a spectacular outdoor adventure. The famed Cuillin mountain range attracts the hardiest of hikers from around the world, whilst the captivating Dunvegan Castle provides fun for all the family. However, without a doubt, Skye’s biggest pull factor is its natural beauty. You’ll see vast, rolling moors and sparkly lochs, usually accompanied by red deer, Scottish wildcats and mountain hares. Given the island’s location between the two, Skye is a good departure point for mainland Scotland and the Outer Hebrides. Regular crossings are provided from Skye’s ports in Armadale on the south coast and from Uig to the north.
The Outer Hebrides, also known as the Western Isles, are a chain of islands strung along the west coast of Scotland. Stretching 130 miles and comprising 119 islands, 5 of which are inhabited: Lewis and Harris, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Barra. These slow-paced, Gaelic-speaking islands all offer total tranquillity, providing a unique British experience. Stunning coastal views, picturesque castles and an abundance of fascinating wildlife in untouched nature are all part of what makes the Outer Hebrides so special. Also, not only are the islands a hiker’s paradise, they also boast some of the most beautiful beaches in the British Isles, with long stretches of pristine white sand and crystal clear waters to be found on almost every island. The Outer Hebrides are very well connected by ferry, with a large network of sailings available within the island chain. There are also numerous routes back to mainland Scotland, so there’s ample choice.
