Find the Space to Unwind in Scotland’s Wild Atlantic Islands

A few ideas.....

  1. A short walk of 4km (2 miles) to an abandoned village on the north shore of Loch Sealg in the Isle of Lewis.
    1. 1st January 202331st December 2023
  2. Discover a waymarked route of 22km along the spectacular North East coast of Lewis offering breathtaking views, history and legend.
    1. 1st January 202331st December 2023
  3. Bosta beach, Iron Age House and graveyard.
    A circular walk of 11km around part of Great Bernera offering a visit to a Bronze Age dwelling at Bosta Beach.
  4. Looking back towards Loch Trolamaraig with Todun above.
    A circular walk that uses the old postman’s path to Reinigeadal – the last village in the UK to be reached by a road. Look out for porpoises in Loch Trolamaraig and enjoy views of the uninhabited Shiant Islands and the mighty Clisham.
    1. Eagle Walk
      Just a short walk up a 2km gravel track you’ll find the North Harris Eagle Observatory and one of the best opportunities in Scotland for viewing the iconic golden eagle.
      1. 1st January 202331st December 2023
    2. A gentle circular walk around the community of Iochdar on the west coast of South Uist offering superb coastal views from the Atlantic-facing beach.
    3. A peaceful walking trail through a community woodland on the island of North Uist where you can enjoy wildlife spotting and walking amongst the trees.
    4. This is an established trail with way-marker posts in Barra. It has a combination of cultural and natural heritage which gives a great insight to the island’s past and present. It has also some truly spectacular scenery.
    5. Walking in the Outer Hebrides
      For those looking for an unforgettable adventure, there is the option of walking or cycling the length of the Outer Hebrides along the Hebridean Way – our long-distance walking route which stretches for 156 miles from Vatersay in the south to Stornoway in the north. It’s a truly iconic island experience.
    6. Surfer with surf board
      If your idea of unwinding is a little faster paced, take a look at our suggestions on Adventure and Relaxation in the Outer Hebrides.
