Like most of Scotland’s islands, the majority of things to do on Barra revolve around activities in the great outdoors, whether hiking, walking, cycling or sailing. Okay so it wasn’t a particularly long cycle, but it involved an unexpected series of rollercoaster inclines and dips – far more than my average level of fitness appreciated. An investment in Isle of Barra Distillers Limited entails a high degree of risk and is illiquid, long term and speculative. Scotland’s Outer Hebrides have become a major tourist draw in recent years thanks to the popularity of the Hebridean Way – the 185-mile touring route that spans ten stunning islands across a landscape that boasts dazzling white sand beaches and picturesque rolling hills.

Isle of Barra Distillers ensures the Island Dark Rum is rich and full of island maritime notes and flavour by utilising the key botanical, carrageen seaweed, which the brand is famed for, hand-harvested from the shores of Barra. The carrageen is infused alongside coconut, cardamon, cloves, lemon, and orange peel. On the nose, coconut and clove present first, shortly followed by a crisp maritime freshness. To taste, coconut and brown sugar flavour with a clean and dry mouth feel, while the finish provides the complex warmth of cardamom. Once on the island you have two main options for getting around – bicycle and/or car. While you could walk, there are no footpaths outside of the villages and long stretches of the road have barely any verges, so avoiding traffic can be difficult. If you’re planning a trip to the Outer Hebrides this summer, or if you fancy a taste of the islands at home then you’ll be pleased to hear that there a new Scottish island rum to enjoy.

Barra is joined to the Isle of Vatersay by a short causeway that allows easy access to the gorgeous beaches of Traigh Shiar and Traigh a Bhaigh which are famed for their Caribbean-esque turquoise waters and pristine white sand.

Barra is a BRILLIANT idea and you definitely don’t need a car. We were there for five days, but we spent one of those days on Eriskay, so Saturday – Tuesday would be a good amount of time. It’s not a big island, so you can easily get round it in a few days. A day cycling to (or getting the bus to) Vatersay is also a must.Hiking Heaval: Heaval is the highest peak on the Isle of Barra, standing at 1,260 feet (383 meters). A hike to the top offers panoramic views of the entire island and beyond. It’s a moderately challenging route, but the breathtaking scenery at the summit is well worth the effort.

Cafe Kisimul is an island institution, and one which I had high expectations of based on some strong recommendations from fellow Scottish travel enthusiastsThree incredibly rare wildcat kittens born at a zoo in West Lothian have been named after Scottish islands. The village also has a few noteworthy attractions, the highlight of which has to be Kisimul Castle which is a large fortress managed by Historic Environment Scotland.
