Islay is one of the Inner Hebrides Islands in Argyll, Scotland. It is known as 'The Queen of the Hebrides' and is rich in history, wildlife and culture. With its mild climate and stunning landscapes, Islay is the perfect getaway for nature-lovers and adventure seekers alike. Famed for its Scotch distilleries that provide some of the world's finest whisky, visitors can sample these exquisite malts while exploring its wide range of attractions.

You can fly to Islay but the Calmac ferry (2 hours from Kennacraig is the best bet). Accommodation is limited so do book in advance or come prepared with a camper van etc.

The island is worth exploring over a couple of days and some of our highlights include:

  • Singing Sands Beach

  • Machir Bay

  • Carriage Fhada Lighthouse

  • Portnahaven

  • Solider's Rock

  • Any of the many distilleries!
