Islands Off Islands (Raasay and Iona)
Scottish Island Adventures - Raasay - and Iona with hosts Coinneach Macleod, the Hebridean Baker, singer-songwriter Natalie Galloway, and guest Ailidh Lennon
Raasay and Iona
Raasay and Iona are islands off islands. Raasay is reachable by a 15 minute ferry from Sconser on Skye. The island is known for its whisky and is dominated by Dun Caan - a distinctive flat-topped mountain. The sacred island of Iona - despite its small size - draws in visitors from across the world because of its historical and spiritual significance. Iona is accessible by a foot passenger ferry from Fionnphort on Mull.
Raasay Distillery
The Isle of Raasay Distillery emerged from centuries of illicit whisky distilling. It now offers guided tours of the whisky making process, luxury overnight accommodation, and a chance to sample the signature Raasay single malt, while taking in rugged views of Skye across the water.
Iona Abbey
Iona Abbey is one of Scotland’s most important spiritual sites. Established in AD 563 by St. Columba, the abbey was significant in the spreading of Christianity across the west of Scotland and has been a center for pilgrimage for centuries!
