Thanks to some of Britain’s best bands, exciting museums and a rich maritime history, this compact northern city is one of England’s finest cultural destinations.

Surrounding the northern tip of the United Kingdom are nearly 800 individual islands, some inhabited, some not, but all beautiful. 

The western isles of Scotland are one of the country’s most unique and scenic regions, where you can experience all the charms and delights of the friendly Gaelic culture. Each of the western isles has its own individual personality and features, from the castles of Mull and the sandy beaches of Tiree, to the heathered bluffs of Isle of Skye and the historic abbey at Iona. Whether you’re keen to island hop and discover all the offerings, or want to settle-in and get to know a place, you will soon find that the Inner Hebrides are a destination you’ll long to return to.
