If you are looking to escape from it all for just a little while, then Scotland’s most easily accessible islands, the Slate Islands, is the place to come.
The Slate Islands were the centre of the Scottish slate mining industry from the mid-18th to the mid-19th century. Today you can see a post-industrial landscape of water-filled quarries, slates, and dramatic coastal scenery. It is also a place of peace and tranquillity, where you will be inspired by the singing of the birds, the sound of the sea crashing on the shores, and the howling wind.
