The Hebrides, which include Barra, Lewis and Harris, are wonderful in Autumn, a little windy but invigorating and uplifting. Wide white sandy beaches all to yourself with crashing Atlantic rollers keeping you on your toes. Roaring log fires in the comfortable hotel at the end of each day to warm your toes while sipping a single malt.
