Islay, the southernmost island of the Inner Hebrides, is famed worldwide for its distinctive peaty whiskies produced by eight active distilleries including Laphroaig, Ardbeg and Bowmore. Beyond whisky, this Scottish island captivates visitors with its stunning landscapes featuring sweeping beaches, dramatic cliffs and abundant wildlife including rare birds and seals. History enthusiasts can explore ancient standing stones, Celtic crosses and the ruins of Finlaggan, once the seat of the Lords of the Isles. The island hosts several annual events including the Islay Festival of Music and Malt (Fèis Ìle) each May, celebrating local culture and whisky. Outdoor activities abound with excellent hiking, fishing, and cycling opportunities across its varied terrain. From Port Ellen, Islay's main port, visitors can easily travel by ferry to the mainland at Kennacraig in Argyll, or connect to neighbouring islands like Jura. The island's rich peat bogs, maritime climate and friendly locals create an unforgettable Scottish island experience.
The Isle of Colonsay, a hidden gem in Scotland's Inner Hebrides, offers visitors a peaceful retreat from the bustle of modern life. This small island, just 10 miles long and 2 miles wide, boasts stunning white sandy beaches, particularly the famous Kiloran Bay with its crystal-clear waters. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the diverse wildlife, including rare birds, seals, and the distinctive Colonsay black bee. History buffs can explore ancient standing stones, the 14th-century Oronsay Priory ruins on the neighbouring tidal island, and Colonsay House Gardens with its impressive collection of rhododendrons. The island hosts the Colonsay Book Festival in spring and the Colonsay Music Festival in autumn, bringing artists and visitors together in celebration. From Colonsay's port, ferry connections link to Oban on the Scottish mainland, as well as to neighbouring islands like Islay and Jura, making it an excellent starting point for exploring Scotland's beautiful western coastline.
