Inclusions |
With a unique island feel, and calmer pace, sublimely peaceful and off the beaten track, the remote Hebrides are the perfect refuge from the pressures of life. Whatever the season, the transient mood of these unspoilt landscapes never fail to stun and delight. Experience Scottish history and romance from the comfort of Hebridean Princess.
Sailing the Sea of the Hebrides, make landfall on South Uist, where the Kildonan Museum holds over 10,000 items charting the cultural history and heritage of an island that is incredibly rich in archeological remains. Berthing in Castlebay, under the gaze of romantic Kisimul Castle, tour the lovely island of Barra with its unique beach airport, and head to neighbouring Vatersay to explore on foot this island with dramatic beaches, rich wildlife and a history dating back to the Bronze Age.
Onwards to the Inner Hebrides and sunshine isle of Tiree to learn of the hazardous tale of the construction of the Skerryvore Lighthouse, an engineering wonder lying 11 miles out to sea. Colonsay exudes peace in the 20 acre informal woodland garden of Colonsay House, planted in the 1930`s with many exotic species from the southern hemisphere. Experience the thrill of a beach landing at Loch Tarbert on the tranquil Isle of Jura, where wild roaming deer far outnumber residents. Known for its tranquility, author George Orwell made Jura his home for peace and quiet and completed his most famous book `1984` here.
Famed for its birdlife and malt whisky, Islay beckons. Visit Kilchoman, the only independent farm distillery on the island. Delight in remote, Gigha, now owned by its community, where the woodland gardens of Achamore House laid by Sir James Horlick bloom spectacularly. While away your final day at the picturesque, fishing village of Tayvallich situated on the shores of Loch Sween, and discover one of Scotland`s richest prehistoric landscapes at Kilmartin Glen.
