The Outer
Hebrides - where are they and what are they like?
Perched
at the very edge of Europe, with only the vast Atlantic between us and
the Americas, the Outer Hebrides are a complete mystery to many people.
A
population of around 27,000 occupies a series of islands that stretch
over a total distance of around 130 miles. Eleven islands are
permanently populated and about a third of the people live within ten
miles or so of Stornoway, the 'capital' town.
Wherever
you travel, you'll find the modern essentials of life -
reliable transport, power and telecommunications - including
a
highly sohisticated wireless broadband network.
The
landscapes and culture vary widely and our journeys through the islands
help you capture a flavour of each, while enjoying the wonderful,
friendly hospitality for which the Outer Hebrides is so well known.
Complete financial peace of mind with
Hebridean Hopscotch - the inclusive car touring holiday company that's
in the Outer Hebrides.

NEW LOWER FERRY FARES
THERE’S NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO VISIT
This
year,
you’ll find reductions in all our price groups for touring
holidays with your own car, thanks to lower, Scottish Government
subsidised fares.
The
trial lasts
until spring 2011 and the lower fares are calculated to equal road
transport costs for the same distances as the ferry sailings - they are
generally referred to as RET fares (Road Equivalent Tariff).
This is
a great
opportunity to benefit from the Government’s £20m
extra
investment and visit us this year. Read
