Island Hopping
A great way to explore the Scottish Highlands!
Although Scotland is a relatively small country it really packs a punch. From breath-taking scenery in the Highlands to rugged coastlines on the North Coast 500 (Scotland's equivalent to Route 66), and a multitude of castles to famous whisky distilleries.
Part of Britain, but with it's very own history and heritage, you can explore to your heart's content and at your own pace.
Mull & Tobermory
A picturesque place to visit
Tobermory is probably one of the most famous villages in Scotland, and now even in the world made famous by Balamory, the well known children’s program in the 90’s
Take the foot ferry from Kilchoan or cross via Lochaline for a great day out. Try Café Fish for seriously fresh seafood lunches – hand made chocolates – Hand made silver – Tobermory distillery plus a wee taster!! and of course boat trips. A great day out with or without the car.
New for 2024, Wild Mull Tours will even drive you around the wild island of Mull for a guided tour taking in all the best hotspots so you don't miss a thing!
Mallaig & Silver Sands, with views out to Skye, Rum and Eigg
A stunning route with a harbour town destination
Another great day out from Kilcamb Lodge is to Mallaig and back, via the coastal route to Mallaig, For a while this runs alongside the Jacobite Steam Train line, then you need to head left to Silver Sands, where you'll find what is often described as the most beautiful stretch of coastline in Britain, with views out to Skye, Rum and Eigg.

Iona
A place of Pilgramage
Iona is a tiny and beautiful Hebridean island off the west coast of Scotland, the cradle of Christianity in Scotland, where in 563AD the Irish monk Columba (Columkille) established a monastic settlement that evangelised large parts of Scotland and the north of England and became an important centre of European Christianity. In the Middle Ages it became the site of a Benedictine abbey, and over the centuries it has attracted many thousands of people on their own pilgrim journeys.
Iona remains a centre for pilgrimage and tourism; the daily services of the Iona Community in the Abbey church and worship elsewhere on the island are open to all; many visitors come again and again. There is a year-round population of over 100; long-established island families as well as more recent arrivals, including those who work for the Iona Community in its centres as staff or volunteers.
The abbey is now managed by Historic Scotland; the Iona Community remains in residence as a living, worshipping presence. The islanders, the Iona Community and Historic Scotland work together to maintain Iona as a place of welcome.
