Did you know there are over 700 islands off the coast of Scotland?

And did you know that only about 95 of them are actually inhabited?

While you may know the famous Isle of Skye,  I’m guessing you may not know about some of the other islands of Scotland.

For example, Arran is often considered to be Scotland in miniature.

Or that the red deer population far outnumber the people on the Isle of Jura.

There is so much to learn and explore when it comes to Scotland’s beautiful and diverse islands.

From the strong ties to Viking heritage on the Shetland Islands and Orkney Islands to some major whisky distilleries on Islay to the strong Gaelic traditions of the Outer Hebrides, this episode is packed with excellent information on some of the main islands of Scotland.

Tune in as Bo Fraser, a Blue Badge Guide with Scottish Tourist Guides Association — and a St Andrews native, joins us again to take us on an adventure to some of the Islands of Scotland.

I’m betting you will add a few of these islands to your Scotland itinerary!
