Scotland Tours for Everyone, Like most of Scotland's people Glaswegians are friendly and as full of character as the city itself. Scotland, despite its small size, has many treasures crammed into its compact territory….. big skies, lonely landscapes, spectacular wildlife, superb seafood and hospitable, down-to-earth people……..Wild and remote islands with beautiful, deserted beaches, abundant bird life, and great walking, cycling and sea-kayaking this time….. in the Outer Hebrides!
An emerald shore receding behind, a sea breeze in your face, a dolphin surfing the bow wave as escort the magic begins as soon as you board the ferry from Scotland’s rugged west coast and head for the Hebrides, a scattering of over fifty- inhabited islands that takes in the stirring mountain - scapes of Skye and the green jewel of Iona, the whisky paradise of Islay and the stern ancient stones of Lewis. Throughout the islands, there’s great walking…… from pacing the sublime sandy beaches of Barra, Tiree or Harris to tackling the rugged challenge of Skye’s Cuillin Hills or the Paps on Jura.
Scotland harbours some of the largest areas of wilderness left in Western Europe, a wildlife haven where you can see golden eagles soar above the lochs and mountains of the northern Highlands, spot otters tumbling in the kelp along the shores of the Outer Hebrides, and watch the Duart Castle and minke whales breach through shoals of mackerel off the coast of Mull.
It's also an adventure playground where you can tramp the tundra plateaus of the Cairngorms, balance along tightrope ridges strung between the rocky peaks of the Cuillin, sea-kayak among the seal-haunted isles of the Outer Hebrides, and take a speed-boat ride into the surging white water of the Corryvreckan whirlpool.
The principal island, its northern half called Lewis and its southern Harris, is spectacular, offering wonderful coastal scenery, ancient stone monuments, traditional turf-roofed ‘blackhouses’ and the famous Harris tweed. The northern part of Lewis is dominated by the desolate expanse of the Black Moor, a vast, undulating peat bog dimpled with glittering lochans, but Lewis’ scenery is on the west coast where the rugged landscape of hill, loch and sandy strand is reminiscent of the northwestern Highlands..the Callanish Standing Stones form one of the most complete stone circles in Britain. it is one of the most atmospheric prehistoric sites anywhere!
Harris, or Na Hearadh to the south of Lewis, is the scenic jewel in the necklace of islands that comprise the Outer Hebrides it has a spectacular blend of rugged mountains, pristine beaches, flower-speckled machair and barren rocky landscapes one of Scotland’s most evocative historic buildings, the Arnol Blackhouse is not so much a museum as a perfectly preserved fragment of a lost world! Scotland is too great a country and there are too many amazing opportunities available for you to miss out.
