Britain's wild islands: 7 days in the Hebrides
Skye, Mull, Iona, Staffa — a slow island-hopping itinerary.
The Inner Hebrides — the chain of islands off Scotland's west coast — offer some of the most dramatic landscape in northern Europe within a week's reach. This itinerary samples the four most-visited: the Cuillin ridge and Old Man of Storr on Skye, the basalt columns of Staffa, the early-Christian abbey on Iona, and the wildlife coasts of Mull. CalMac ferries link them all.
