Scottish Island Holidays

See Scotland differently...through treasured islands.

For over 150 years the same ferry company has been hopping visitors to and from Scotland's treasured islands and peninsulas. The diversity of landscapes offers a huge range of activities from cycling to windsurfing and, contrary to popular belief, the occasional sunbather has even been spotted on the miles of golden beaches. Do not expect huge crowds.

Each Scottish island has its own undeniable charms: from the soaring mountains, glorious beaches and wonderful wildlife habitats of Mull and Arran to the gentler, more rolling landscapes (and delightful gardens) of Islay and Gigha, to the spiritual escape of Iona, to the peace of remote Colonsay, to the most famous Scottish island of all - the moodily magnificent Isle of Skye. For a greater contrast, the further flung Outer Hebrides offer an intoxicating blend of wild natural beauty, sparkling sandy beaches and stunning rocky landscapes. Finally, the enchanting Orkney Islands, and Shetland Islands with their distinctive culture drawn from centuries of Norse rule.
