‘Good things come in small packages!’
Barra holds a special place in the hearts of many. Us Scottish folk have a tendency to throw around the word ‘wee’, even in instances where something isn’t all that small. I can assure you however that Barra definitely falls into the ‘wee’ category. At just 8 miles x 5 miles at the widest point, it’s certainly not one of Scotland’s larger islands, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in beauty and plenty of character!
​
Barra supplies infinitely breathtaking scenery, fantastic local produce & crafts, and an enviable and palpable sense of community, all rooted in a rich clan history.
​

Hop on a boat to make the memorable journey to the ‘Castle in the Sea’.
