Favourite Scottish island?
Jump to: Newest in thread
I'm fortunate enough to be visiting a few this summer and autumn - three different trips to inner and outer Hebrides.
So what's your favourite island, and where should I be pedalling to 'off the beaten track'..? |

I've one trip that should see me on Arran, Jura, Islay, Colonsay and Oronsay.
Another that's South Uist, Benbecula, North Uist, Berneray, Lewis & Harris, Scalpay and Great Bernera.
Finally some Skye and Raasay in the autumn.
I'm feeling rather excited. Now I just need a FWB who likes bikes to join me  #perfection |

"Watching with interest. Might have a wee multi island trip in the summer if I can pull off the planning"
I did 4 of the inner Hebridean islands in a week last summer (thankfully it was a week we could all travel), and even managed to get some good weather.  |

Arran is nice. If you're cycling look at the CalMac website, they used to do a range of 'island hopper' tickets. Basically a set of one-way tickets allowing you to link a variety of places. For example, Ardrossan to Brodick, then you can cycle to Lochranza, another ferry to Clonaig, then ride south to Campbelltown or north to Lochgilphead. Worth a look if you're planning a multi day trip. |
