Scottish Isles (Hebrides, Orkney & Shetland)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Scotland's island groups — the Hebrides, Orkney, and Shetland — stretch across the North Atlantic, each with a distinct character shaped by Norse and Gaelic heritage, wild landscapes, and dramatic coastal scenery. The Hebrides encompass over 500 islands, from the rugged mountains of Skye to the white-sand beaches of the Outer Hebrides, and are renowned for whisky distilleries, Gaelic culture, and outstanding wildlife including red deer, sea eagles, and Atlantic seals. Orkney is famous for its extraordinary concentration of Neolithic monuments — Skara Brae, the Ring of Brodgar, and Maeshowe — alongside dramatic sea cliffs and world-class wreck diving in Scapa Flow. Shetland, closer to Norway than to Edinburgh, draws visitors with its Norse roots, puffin colonies, Viking festival Up Helly Aa, and some of the most remote, windswept scenery in the British Isles.
