The Hebrides
"Near the sea we
forget to count the days..."
Standing
majestically at the northwest edge of Europe, this 150 mile-long island chain
of beaches, culture, wildlife and adventure is a haven for outdoor activities,
and a great place to unwind.
Nowhere else will
you find such diversity of landscapes and species, arts, crafts and music: the
islands have an abundance of beautiful habitats... peaceful, unspoilt and
natural. Fresh water and sea lochs unsurpassable in their beauty and abundance
provide a great resource for fishermen and bird life. Traditional music and
crafts live on in a lively and modern culture, which is civilised in the true
sense of the word. Pioneering sporting and cultural events attract people from
all over the world to experience this Gaelic heartland. Get even closer to
nature: a boat trip to spot whales, dolphins, seals or puffins or a guided walk
to mix with otters, buzzards or deer. And for those who like an adrenalin rush,
expert or not, try out our surfing, climbing, diving or power boating. Come
home with a new hobby!
The Hebridean Gaels
always provide a friendly welcome, making the visitor share the sense of
belonging and freedom - one of the great traits of the local heritage. The
sense of being surrounded by the fresh Hebridean air carries the visitor into a
world of serenity.
The Hebrides is an oasis of calm in
a chaotic world.
