The Road to the Isles

The Small Isles
of
Eigg, Muck, Rum and Canna

These four islands,
part of the Inner Hebrides,
lie just off the coast
at the junction of
the Sound of Arisaig
and the Sound of Sleat.

Unlike many groups each Island is distinct and different in geography, agronomy, population and ownership. From Muck in the South, through Eigg with its tooth-like Sgurr, and Rum, mountainous and mysterious in the clouds, to Canna in the North, the Islands offer a wonderful variety of scenery, wildlife and lifestyle.

What links them is safety, serenity, seclusion and solitude.
What separates them? Go on a virtual tour and find out....
