The haunting ruins of Iona Abbey can be explored to this day with Celtic crosses whispering tales of faith and perseverance. Or step into the tranquility of St Oran’s Chapel, said to be the oldest surviving religious building in Scotland, and Reilig Odhráin, an ancient cemetery rumored to hold the remains of Scottish kings like Macbeth.

Dramatic landscapes, such as the jagged Cuillin mountains and the iconic rock formations of the Old Man of Storr, offer challenging terrains for the advanced adventurer but there also plenty of flat routes. Near Glenbrittle, natural rock formations have created crystal-clear pools fed by crashing waterfalls, known as the Fairy Pools. </p><p>With such a diverse landscape, it’s little wonder that you can also spot a lot of wildlife if you keep your eyes open. Watch red deer wandering through the grass or look up for majestic birds like hen harriers and whimbrels. Take a boat trip around the island and you could meet dolphins, otters, sea eagles, puffins seals and even whales.</p><div class="sc-kk992l-0 coQFhJ"><h3>How to get there</h3></div><p>To reach the Isle of Skye, there’s a direct train from Glasgow to Mallaig, which takes around five hours, or you could drive to Mallaig.

In spring and summer, the island’s landscapes burst into vibrant color, with blooms like orchids, primroses, bluebells and thrift carpeting the ground; the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://scottishwildlifetrust.org.uk/reserve/isle-of-eigg/">Scottish Wildlife Trust</a> offers a guided 90-minute walk around the most beautiful spots every Monday between June and late September, as well as a nature walk every Wednesday. The island’s mild climate coupled with the Gulf Stream makes for a longer flowering season than on the mainland. The air is also extremely fresh and unpolluted, with Eigg is one of the first island’s in the world to be powered solely by renewable energy sources. The island’s own off-grid energy system is powered by wind, water and the sun.</p><div class="sc-kk992l-0 coQFhJ"><h3>How to get there</h3></div><p>To get to the Isle of Eigg, you catch a<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.calmac.co.uk/article/2123/Eigg"> CalMac ferry</a> from Mallaig, which is on the West Highland train line, 41 miles from Fort William or 164 miles from Glasgow.

The archipelago is home to neolithic structures that are older than Stonehenge. The brilliantly preserved coastal village at Skara Brae is on the Unesco World Heritage list, and there’s also a circle and henge at Brodgar and vaulting stones at Stenness. Fascinated by the Vikings? Orkney is home to St Magnus Cathedral, which was founded in 1137 by a Viking, Earl Rognvald, in honour of his eponymous martyred uncle. Modern history buffs can learn about World War history at the Scapa Flow Museum or visit the imposing Churchill Barriers, causeways built to defend against Nazi invasion.</p><div class="sc-kk992l-0 coQFhJ"><h3>How to get there</h3></div><p>The fastest way to reach Orkney is by flying. Daily flights operate from major Scottish cities like Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Inverness to Kirkwall Airport, Orkney’s main airport. The flight duration is usually around an hour. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.northlinkferries.co.uk/"> North Link ferries</a> operate from Aberdeen and Scrabster (near Thurso) to Stromness, Orkney. The journey from Scrabster takes approximately 90 minutes, while the trip from Aberdeen is around six hours.</p><div class="sc-kk992l-0 coQFhJ"><h3>Where to stay</h3></div><p>Looking out across the harbour of the Orkney Islands’ largest town, The Kirkwall Hotel features a high-quality restaurant and bar along with stylish en suite rooms.
