Find Space to Wonder in Scotland’s Wild Atlantic Islands

A few ideas...

  1. Viewpoint from Reuval, Benbecula
    Retrace the steps of Bonnie Prince Charlie on this fascinating trail as he travelled through the Outer Hebrides, from his arrival in Eriskay in 1745 to his escape ‘over the sea to Skye’ (and thereafter to Uist) with Flora MacDonald in 1746.
  2. Hop on a boat across the bay to the ‘Castle in the Sea’ and explore the seat of the chief of Clan MacNeil. The only significant surviving medieval castle in the Outer Hebrides.
  3. Step back in time and gain an intriguing insight into the history of South Uist. With over 10,000 items related to the island’s social, domestic and cultural history to discover, you’ll learn all about its fascinating past.

  8. Dun Carloway Broch - Rachel Keenan
    Visit one of the best-preserved Iron Age brochs in Scotland. Standing at nearly nine meters tall, and built in around 200 BC, it offers spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding Lewis landscape. Found only in Scotland, this broch has had various uses over the centuries, including a pottery kiln, a shelter and a home as late as the 1870s.

  10. St Kilda cottage with light on
    An isolated archipelago of volcanic islands located 50 miles into the Atlantic. Populated for over 4,000 years in extreme conditions, the islanders chose to leave in 1930. Visit the abandoned village and listen to stories and folklore about the unique life on St Kilda. It’s a dual UNESCO World Heritage Site, a National Nature reserve, and seabird sanctuary without parallel in Europe that is home to nearly one million seabirds.
