Walking holidays in Outer Hebrides and Skye

Don't Miss

The Outer Hebrides are one of Scotland’s best kept secrets for walking and hiking. There is probably no better place to experience a better combination of pristine scenery, intriguing culture and a way of life which doesn’t seem to have been caught up in the hustle and bustle of the 21st century.

The Isle of Lewis is the largest of the Outer Hebrides. Most visitors arrive in the main town of Stornoway, by ferry from Ullapool. The sail provides an ideal opportunity to observe seabirds and whales.
The Isle of Harris, located south of the Isle of Lewis, is actually linked to it by a narrow causeway.
Skye is a large complex island, which has much to offer. It is famous for its Cuillin Mountains which dominate the scenery in the south of the island.
