The west of Scotland has it all: culture, castles, striking islands, seafood specialities, towering mountains and mystical lochs.
Scotland is an island lover’s paradise.

When thinking of Scotland’s exquisite natural beauty, we all tend to think of craggy mountains and sweeping forests – and they’re justifiably famous.
But we often forget about the magnificent sandy beaches which dot the coastline, the equal of anything you’ll find in the Seychelles or Maldives – and what they lack in temperature, they make up for in tranquility and unspoilt charm.
