9-Night Mingulay, Monachs, North and South Uist on MV Hjalmar Bjørge

The Outer Hebrides, Scotland's westernmost islands, are known for their rugged mountains, rocky coastlines, and stretches of white sandy beaches and turquoise waters. Each island has its unique charm. The uninhabited Mingulay teems with puffins, guillemots, razorbills, and marine life like dolphins and basking sharks. The nearby islands of Sandray, Pabbay, Vatersay, and Barra beckon adventurers to explore their untouched beauty. Further north, the Monach Isles offer rich machair, nesting seabirds, and seasonal wildflowers. The Uists, divided into North and South, offer a rich blend of nature and heritage. They boast fine beaches, wetland habitats with Golden Eagles and Black-Throated Divers, and a vibrant Gaelic culture.
