Island Hopping in Scotland
Are you ready to try something different? Would you like a holiday far from the norm? Why not try Island Hopping? Or ‘Island Hopscotch’ as termed by Caledonian MacBrayne?
Island Hopping in Scotland on the Inner Hebrides and Western Isles is fun and takes the visitor to the most beautiful and remote islands in Scotland.
Many travellers want to distance themselves from their usual lives. They savour the quiet thrill of escaping by boat, and take time to enjoy the peace and the islands and their rugged scenery. For the motorist or cyclist, there is hardly a road that does not offer great views. For those wanting to walk, climb, fish, or take to the, water, all are quiet and easily reached. And for those days when the views aren't all they might be, there is the attraction of a peat fire, a good book and a dram of Islay single malt whisky ( in a quality self-catering cottage of course).
A frequent service of ferries plying to and from this patchwork of islands, mainly under the flag of Caledonian MacBrayne ( Calmac ), make island hopping practical and easy. They offer a variety of mountain and coastal landscapes, and are rich in wildlife, from birds of prey to deer and dolphins.Calmac sails to 24 destinations on Scotland's West Coast, from Arran in the south to Lewis in the north.
Northlink Ferries take you on a voyage of discovery to the islands of Orkney and Shetland. There are spectacular cliffs, wide skies and huge horizons. The Orcadians are great craftspeople, with a strong tradition of jewellery making as well as fine knitwear, weaving and pottery.
As you plan your temporary escape from your normal life, be sure to arrange for a place to rest your head at the end of the day. Why not organize a series of short stays at self-catering properties along the way? With the help of the EmbraceScotland website, planning your Island Hopping holiday is simple.
