Beautiful Barra

We were celebrating my husband’s 70th birthday so were looking for something special. The flight in the Twin Otter plane and landing on the beach was a unique and memorable experience. The accommodation was excellent as was the full-day excursion exploring the island of Barra.

Everything went like clockwork, McKinlay Kidd organised the whole trip very efficiently. They took care of flights, accommodation, car hire and excursions. We were kept well informed in the run-up and they responded quickly to queries. We were provided with detailed documentation including travel tips, maps and recommendations.

Landing on the Sand on Barra

Wonderful holiday, organised by McKinlay Kidd. I would never have been able to liaise the tide timetables for landing and hotel accommodation, much better to let the experts do it for you. Once in a lifetime holiday and a tick on my bucket list.

Land on the Sand at Barra

The experience of landing on a beach runway in a tiny twin otter plane. The island of Barra and its neighbouring island of Vatersay’s glorious white sandy beaches, scenery and laid back friendly vibe. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Zoe, helped a lot in organizing, last minute additions, ie local flights to tie in with the main flight, and ensuring we had the best time, she is an asset to the company,
