The western isles of Scotland are one of the country’s most unique and scenic regions, where you can experience all the charms and delights of the friendly Gaelic culture. Each of the western isles has its own individual personality and features, from the castles of Mull and the sandy beaches of Tiree, to the heathered bluffs of Isle of Skye and the historic abbey at Iona.
