The Isle of Barrais is a Scottish island in the Outer Hebrides or Western Isles. Castlebay, the ferry port, is the main village. Barra is connected to Vatersay by a causeway, as well as further south are the remote islands of Pabbay, Sandray, Mingulay, and Berneray.

If you don’t want to drive, there is a local bus that runs from the airport to Castlebay and Airdmhor if you are travelling north through the Outer Hebrides or just over to Eriskay for the day. A service from Castlebay to Vatersay is also available, but it must be reserved in advance.

This is a difficult question that is largely dependent on your own availability of time. You can spend 7 nights and 6 days there, but you’ll want to stay for two weeks, or you can drive around the island in less than an hour!

Barra and Vatersay are fantastic walking islands, whether it’s a stroll around the harbour, along one of the many beaches, around the island by road, or more challenging hill walks. The tourist board makes some suggestions, but the best advice is to just go!

Barra is a special place to visit, especially if you arrive by plane. It has long been renowned for its beauty, boasting beaches, hills, machair, and moor all on a small island. Flights between tides land on the beach at Cockle Strand, making it one of the most unusual airports in the world.

Golden Eagles can be seen soaring over the wild windswept hillsides, Puffins, Guillemots, and Kittiwakes nest on the high sheer cliffs, and Oystercatchers and Plovers can be seen picking amongst the mussels and limpets on the seashore.

You certainly can. Many rules must be followed in order to protect the island, wildlife, and others. A motorhome or campervan can be used for wild camping. Before arriving on the island, all campervans and motorhomes should reserve a campsite or designated bay.

The islands are one of the few places in Scotland where Scottish Gaelic is still widely spoken.

Midges aren’t a big problem in the Outer Hebrides because the Atlantic breeze keeps them at bay. You may want to use a midge repellent on the few days when they do appear. Midges can become more prevalent on the Isle of Skye later in the summer.
