Gallery
The Island of Barra is approximately 8 miles long by 5 miles wide making it compact but packed with scenic beauty, sandy beaches, and a strong sense of community with a population of just 1200. Vatersay is the stunning neighbouring island connected by a small causeway and there are opportunities to visit uninhabited islands such as Mingulay. Regardless of the weather, the changes of colours within the seas and landscape can be stunning. The approach to Barra Airport is an experience you will never forget. Kisimul Castle, the ancestral seat of Clan MacNeil sitting proudly in the bay. There are plenty of things to see and do.
Barra and Vatersay are unique in many ways.
