On Location: The Western Isles
Nine days, eight nights island tour.
The Western Isles or Outer Hebrides lie between 50 and 100km across the Minch and the Sea of the Hebrides from Mainland Scotland. Offering a spectacular combination of coastal and mountain scenery, dramatic ancient monuments and an unrivalled variety of flora and fauna, these islands abound with opportunities to take your photography to a new level. Our itinerary takes us from the Standing Stones of Callanish on the Isle of Lewis in the north, to the beautiful and remote beaches of the island of Vatersay in the south. We will visit at least ten islands on our journey, which has been specifically timed to coincide with the islands’ most colourful season when the wild flowers of the machair are in full bloom.
Accommodation: On the first and last nights we stay at Glenbruach Country House in the Trossachs.
