Tiree (Tir an Eorna=land of barley also Tir barr fo thuinn= land below the waves in Gaelic) is situated in the breathtaking Inner Hebrides, to the west of Mull and south of neighbouring island Coll.
I recommend it as the perfect destination for an island escape. I camped alone and hired a bicycle. The weather was brilliantly sunny if a little windy! It's the best place to learn surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing in Scotland and probably the UK.
I travelled by Scotrail Caledonian sleeper, amazing value, and then on to Oban on the West Highland Line, again amazing value and stunning views. Then CalMac ferry, yet again incredible value and stunning close up views of passing shivers of massive basking sharks and the beautiful Sound of Mull, Ardnumarchan and the other isles.

A friendly hotel in a great part of the small island. There are only two hotels on Tiree, but this is my favourite. It's basic, but good value and the staff are very welcoming.

After a day's walking or cycling around the island, what better way to relax than in the adjoining pub with the friendly locals and a large whisky!
