Small Isles: Getting there/around
Canna, Eigg, Rum and Muck are the ‘hidden gems’ of the Inner Hebrides.
These islands, reached from Mallaig, are unique. Get away from it all and explore their individual beauty and fascinating wildlife. Visit all of the islands on a non-landing cruise or take time out for a fuller visit.
Canna has been a bird sanctuary for many years. Muck, the smallest of the Small Isles is great for walking and picnicking. Rum, the largest of the Small Isles, is most well-known for the Edwardian Kinloch Castle. Eigg has lots to discover including arts and crafts as well as the spectacular views from the top of Sgurr.
