There is a deliciously old-fashioned thrill to visiting the Scottish Islands. Grappling with route-planning and ferry timetables is not for the faint-hearted however, so why not leave planning your Scottish islands travel to us? We can work out the best combinations and timings to ensure you get the most out of your adventure, even if time is limited to a weekend.
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.
If you can't decide, try one of our carefully planned Scottish island-hopping combinations, or if time is short our range of Scottish Island Holidays by air.
