ALL ISLANDS ARE UNIQUE – and this is especially true of those scattered along Scotland’s dramatic west coast. This vast archipelago is home to hundreds of islands, around fifty of which remain inhabited today. Though many are only a short sea journey from the mainland, they can feel a world away. Exploring Scotland’s Western Islands introduces eight carefully selected islands, each chosen for its distinctive blend of culture, landscape, wildlife and history. Arran and Cumbrae lie close inshore, within the Firth of Clyde, while Islay, Lismore, Mull, Skye and Tiree belong to the Inner Hebrides. Lewis-Harris, poised on the very edge of the North Atlantic Ocean, completes the set. This book offers a wealth of practical information about each island.
