The �hidden gems� of the Inner Hebrides. In particular Eigg is wonderful and is topped off with An Sgurr, a dramatic central mountain that is a much easier walk than it looks. There are sandy beaches and caves along the shoreline and a fascinating a bloody history. Rum is quite different with dramatic black cliffs that rise steeply up from the sea with its main attraction being the extraordinary red sandstone Kinloch Castle.

Indeed they may be the only options for food and drink for miles around and can have very nice accommodation available. The only down-side to staying in an Inn or Pub is that you may not have complete quiet until after midnight and the bar has closed. Learn more about accommodation types
