The Outer Hebrides..

Hebridean Hopscotch arranges Scottish island hopping holidays in the Outer Hebrides, a string of captivatng islands that covers a south to north direction spanning around 150 miles long and averaging perhaps 10 miles wide.

There are over 60  islands with about 15 being inhabited.

Our most popular Outer Hebrides island hopping holidays cover the nine main islands and give you the opportunity to make occasional diversions onto five other small islands, connected by causeways.

Your holiday here is arranged specially for you by advisors who actually live in the Outer Hebrides and have an intimate knowledge of the hotels, B&B (bed and breakfast) and guest house or inn accommodation.

They also know and regularly use the shops, Calmac ferries and visitor attractions.

The main islands of the Outer Hebrides are Lewis, Harris, Berneray, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist, Eriskay and Barra.  The smaller populated islands that your itinerary may include Gt. Bernera, Scalpay, Flodda, Grimsay and Vatersay.  

Although an Inner Hebrides island, we include the Isle of Skye as an option within our holiday itineraries, as it forms an interesting point of entry to the Outer Hebrides, via the Calmac ferry from Uig to Tarbert.

You can also take optional boat trips with various operators to the double World Heritage site of the St Kilda archipelago, the Shiants, Mingulay, the Monach isles, the Flannans, Scarp, Taransay and North Rona.

Although Hebridean Hopscotch Holidays was initially established to provide car touring holiday packages, we realise that many of our clients choose to see Scotland differently, so have expanded our offers.

We now include end-to-end bicycle touring, including bike hire, packages where you can use public transport and, new for 2012, an 'Unwind in Nature' holiday that's specially designed to offer an opportunity to slow down, relax, de-stress and find inner peace.
