These are 10 of the most remote Scottish Islands – and how you can visit them.
9. The Shiant Isles, Outer Hebrides
Between Skye and the Outer Hebrides, The Shiant Isles are a small group of islands home to around 30,000 seabirds and beautiful, wild views. There is a Skye, Small Isles and Shiants Cruise run by Hebrides Cruises from Oban for getting there. Photo: Shutterstock
10. Colonsay, Inner Hebrides
A stone’s throw from the Isle of Jura, Colonsay is a jewel in the Inner Hebridies’ crown. Local activities include oyster-farming, arts, crafts, honey production and even a brewery. You can get a CalMax ferry to Colonsay from Oban, or can sail from Islay. Photo: Shutterstock
