Grade B
These southern islands that contribute to the beautiful archipelago forming the Summer Isles have a remote and ‘out there’ feel about them. They include perhaps the jewel in the crown of the Summer Isles, Priest Island; a RSPB nature reserve and home to a wealth of wildlife as well as spectacular cliffs, caves and sea arches. With small crossings, stunning scenery and islands in abundance this is a trip to be savoured on a good weather day.
