THE SCOBFSH CONNECTION --- Scotland Hebrides

The ScoBFsh ferry company Caledonian MacBrayne sails from mainland Scotland to 22 islands of the Hebrides and also interconnects the islands themselves. From Arran in the South to Lewis in the north, their network cover some of the most beautiful and dramatic places in Scotland. Get away from it all by ferry and discover a different world.

Thames Travel / British Ferry can book you on just any of the sailings, but if you really want to discover two or more of the islands we suggest you use the "Island Rover" formula or one of the 26 "Hopscotch" combinations. Our operators will be happy to assist you in choosing the best possible combination.

If you would like a completely organized individual tour we suggest you look at the "Ultimate Hebrides Tour"

The Hebrides Whisky Trails
If you're in Scotland, you obviously think of whisky, the national pride of the country. The islands are reknowned for their excellent brands and the famous distilleries will give you a warm welcome (and a wee dram...). Hopscotch Nr. 7 is known as the *North Trail* and brings you to the finest distilleries in Oban, Mull and Skye. Hopscotch Nr. 16 or 17 are known as the *South Trail* which takes in distilleries on Arran, Kintyre and Islay. It is even possible to combine both trails. For details please ask our operators.
