A Grand Tour of the Outer Hebrides by Air - The Times

Summary

Please note that flights are included from London Luton or London Gatwick to Glasgow (other regional airports may be available at a reasonable supplement).

Our best-selling grand tour of the Outer Hebrides takes in all the beauty and diversity of this very special environment with ten different islands and four ferry trips included. Two comfortable hotels ensure that this holiday is as relaxing as possible while at the same time offering great variety and the sense of a true journey of discovery which will live long in the memory. Our odyssey begins as we travel via Glencoe, Fort William and Glenfinnan to Mallaig. From here we take the ferry to Lochboisdale in South Uist and cross the causeway to Benbecula, the ‘stepping stone’ between the Uists, before visiting the islands of Eriskay, Vatersay and Barra. A captivating journey follows as we travel through the magnificent mountain scenery of Harris, the rolling moorland of Lewis, and on to Stornoway. We continue with visits to the Standing Stones of Callanish (*the main Callanish site will be closed until early 2026 and we will visit the nearby smaller circles instead), the tranquil little Norse Mill and the distinctive Black Houses at Gearrannan.
