World Heritage Interest cruise.

The mysterious archipelago of St Kilda, the UK's only Double UNESCO World Heritage Site, lies approximately 120 miles off the west coast of mainland Scotland and was occupied by man in the harshest of conditions for 5,000 years until 1930.

Start your voyage by crossing the Sea of the Hebrides to Barra for refreshing walks or a panoramic tour. Few sights can compare with the bird cliffs of Boreray and Stac Lee emerging hazily from the horizon to the echoing cries of seabirds as you approach Hirta, the jewel in St Kilda's crown. As the cleits and grazing Soay sheep come into view, go ashore to explore the abandoned village. Cruising past the mysterious Flannan Isles, arrive in Stornoway to wonder at the awe-inspiring megalithic Callanish Standing Stones, and the well preserved, 2,000-year-old Carloway Broch. Discover how the diversity of the Outer Hebrides is shaped by a unique combination of land, sea and people at the Lews Castle Museum. From Ullapool, marvel at the deep Corrieshalloch Gorge and plunging Falls of Measach as they cascade through a wilderness rich in flora and fauna. Inverewe Garden is a paradise of 2,500 exotic subtropical species overlooking Loch Ewe, the life's work of Osgood MacKenzie. Wander at leisure in the wildlife reserve of Eigg which was bought by its islanders in 1997. En route to Oban pause awhile at the Ardnamurchan Distillery. The peated and unpeated whiskies produced here are influenced by the remote and rugged position on the most westerly point of mainland Britain.
