Wild camping amid the Machair and shell sands of Tragh Mhor (Cockle Strand) with a front row seat for the twice-daily propellor planes from Glasgow landing on the beach, is hard to beat. This most sourtherly of the island chains that form the Outer Hebridies is just eight miles by four miles, with crystal azure blue water lapping soft sandy beaches, a population of 1078 with a strong gaelic culture, seals and even a glacier mountain. All of this just five hours sail from Oben or you could fly and experience the exhilarating landing on the beach. If you do rough camp, smooth the edges with a cappuccino and cooked breakfast at the tiny airport terminal, open 10 to 3 pm.
