It's home to the world's only commercial beach airport, where planes land directly on the sand at Traigh Mhor beach during low tide, offering visitors a truly unique experience. Kisimul Castle, the 'Castle in the Sea', stands proudly in Castlebay, the island's main settlement, providing a glimpse into Barra's rich history. Outdoor enthusiasts will love hiking up Heaval, the island's highest point, which offers panoramic views across the archipelago. Every summer, the island comes alive with the Barra Live music festival, celebrating traditional Scottish and Celtic music.
