Scotland's western isles are the Hebrides chain, located off Scotland's western coast, just a short distance from Glasgow. The Sea of the Hebrides separates the Outer Hebrides (such as the isles of Lewis and Harris) from the Inner Hebrides (isles such as Skye, Mull, Jura and Islay). A visit to the Isle of Lewis is like stepping into the pages of a Scottish fairy tale. Everywhere you look, medieval structures remind you of the island`s remarkable history. Outdoor activities reign supreme on the Isle of Skye, from rock climbing to pony trekking, walking, cycling, and bird watching. The Isle of Mull is full of many incredible experiences, such as visiting the charming town of Tobermory with its colored houses and independent businesses. The Isle of Islay is probably best known for its peaty, smoky whiskies. Some say they are the best in the whole world.
Away from the major cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, you will be privy to the authentic Scottish visitor experience. Many of these smaller towns in the central and northern parts of the country are proud of their roots and Gaelic language and traditions flourish. The charming towns of Scotland are each picture-perfect in their own ways.
