I liked Orkney when I visited it but my favourite islands would be, in first place, Vatersay, then Barra, then Skye, then Harris, then Bute, then Islay. That's more than five, I admit. And there are loads of wee islands that are now accessible but were not at the time I was travelling the Hebrides. Thanks for loving the islands.
@seb-depp Would HIGHLY recommemd you do all the Outer Hebrides in one visit, at least 7 - 10 days to make it worthwhile and do the beautiful islands justice, to be savoured not rushed😎😎👍👍🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Fun fact: there's no legal document in existence that makes Shetland a part of Scotland. Technically, we're still part of Norway. And yes, my family tree comes from a man called Hendrich Hendrichsson in the 1400s.
You really must get yourself to Colonsay, as I suspect this video might need to be updated as your favourite SIX islands! With Mull and Iona about 10 miles to the north, the southern view from this island is dominated by the hills known as the Paps of Jura, with Islay also visible to the south west. A further island, Oronsay, can be reached only on foot from Colonsay: this is a bird sanctuary as well as the home of a remarkably-well-preserved 14th Century Abbey; while there is much to see and do on Colonsay itself including sub-tropical woodland gardens, with flowering specimens from all over the world in a semi-wild landscape that unusually for the Hebrides, is protected from the prevailing winds. As well as formal gardens there is also a bookshop, gift/craft shop, award-winning restaurant / cafe, a ruined village, inland lochs stocked with trout for fishing (with permits), a golf course, church, hotel with public bar; village hall (weekly ceilidhs on summer Saturdays); shop/post office, numerous hills, footpaths, white sandy beaches, a golf course, heritage centre and the world's smallest micro-brewery!
The most accessible Scottish Island is The Isle of Cumbrae which is only 10.25 miles in circumference. A day trippers paradise which boasts the smallest Cathedral in Europe, the Cathedral of the Isles which is my local place of worship.
Loved the views of the beautiful islands
Love your choice of end music.
Yes I love Auld Lang Syne!
Beautiful! I've been to Orkney and would love to visit Shetland.
It is stunning. I'm sure you'll love it!

Bute is on my list for a future trip!
Genial video Maureen! no sabía que hubiera tantas islas en Escocia, muy bien!
Gracias. Si, tenemos muchas islas diferentes y voy a visitar 2 islas abandonadas en mayo!
@@bilingualbackpacker Yayy!! Que guay!
Great video that I missed but c'mon, we all know that The Isle of Lewis is the best for sure, haha! Ix
Haha I need to get back there. I went to both Lewis & Harris before I was making TH-cam videos.
beautiful❤🏴
Thank you :)
My next visit to beautiful Scotland would be only after studying this video!
Thank you :). I will be adding more island videos next year. I have some trips booked to some different islands that aren't in this video!
@@bilingualbackpacker Sounds great!
Def. agree with Orkney being the best. Never been to Tiree and Barra but will visit Barra next year. Surprised you didn't include Skye...
Too many islands to choose from!

That's really interesting! Thanks for sharing :)
@@bilingualbackpacker If you ever visit Shetland again come and meet a real viking ;)
@@Trollberg60north I will be back at some point as I want to visit some of the smaller islands.

Sounds great! I have been to Mull & Iona but that was before I was making videos. I will definitely look into Colonsay!

That one is on my list along with Bute :)
I'm ready‼️ but cannot go until 2026
Have a great time when you go!
You are beautiful!
