The Southern Hebrides

The Southern Hebrides offers a diverse and picturesque cruising region, renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, rich wildlife, and fascinating history. From the serene bays of Islay and Jura to the uninhabited isles of Lunga and Scarba, each island reveals its own story through distinctive geography.

Just south of Oban lie the Slate Isles, famously known as the islands that ‘roofed the world’. Easdale boasts a vibrant industrial past and today is celebrated for hosting the ‘World Stone Skimming Championships’.

Jura known for its rugged wilderness and abundant deer, is dominated by the striking Paps of Jura. Meanwhile, Islay, the ‘Queen of the Hebrides’, is famed for its world-renowned whisky distilleries. The smaller island of Gigha is fertile, fringed by sandy beaches, and surrounded by clear turquoise seas.
