From the Norse heritage of Shetland and Orkney to the Gaelic-speaking Outer Hebrides, the Scottish isles are home to some of the UK’s most remarkable island landscapes. You can explore Neolithic sites and Viking ruins, watch seabirds at clifftop colonies and walk long white-sand beaches. Our featured islands include Shetland, Orkney, the Isle of Lewis, the Isle of Arran, the Isle of Skye and the Isle of Mull, and each has its own character, history, and food and drink. With easy connections between them, island hopping is highly recommended. Every island also offers a chance to see the Northern Lights, particularly in autumn and winter.
