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.

Old lighthouses are wonderfully romantic spots, with their inspiring views, lonely locations, and a powerful proximity to the elements. Lighthouses don’t come much better than South Stack’s which has stood proud since 1809. Not far from Holyhead, the largest town on the island of Anglesey and, these days, a busy ferry port, the lighthouse assists the passage of ships on the Dublin–Holyhead–Liverpool sea route, which crosses some famously stormy seas.
