Crossing the sea from Kyle of Lochalsh takes you to what feels like a different world, to windswept islands of unspoilt beauty, treeless landscapes and brooding mountain ranges. Gaelic is still widely spoken on the islands, and the inhabitants are proud of their island heritage. A stay in one of our holiday cottages in the Isle of Skye and Hebrides is an unforgettable experience.The varied and dramatic scenery of the Isle of Skye, with its profusion of sea lochs and high mountain peaks has attracted visitors for centuries. It’s also home to some excellent whisky and a visit to the Talisker Distillery is recommended for all those with a taste for the “water of life” – a heartwarming thought on one of our Isle of Skye and Hebrides cottage holidays.The Outer Hebrides islands of Lewis, Harris and North and South Uist offer an even more unspoilt landscape, where the air is fresh and invigorating. The mountains of Harris are favourites with hill walkers, and there are deserted beaches to explore on South Uist. Don’t miss the Black House Museum on Lewis, which re-creates the life of a crofter in the middle of the last century.
