Journey through Western Isles Overview

McKinlay Kidd's "Journey Through the Western Isles " is ideal for those who want a relaxing self-drive tour of these truly captivating Scottish islands, taking you from Barra in the south through the Uists, to Harris, Lewis and finishing on Skye. Available as ferry-based holiday, or as fly-drive from Glasgow, with one way car hire on the islands.

Award-winning specialist tour operator McKinlay Kidd offers a range of Scottish island-hopping holidays. Our Journey through the Western Isles is a ten night self-drive tour starting from Oban, then spending two nights on each of Barra, North Uist, Harris, Lewis and Skye.

The holiday can also be arranged as a fly-drive from Glasgow, which then includes the unique flight to Barra, with the landing on the famous Cockle Strand Beach.
