Known as the Queen of the Hebrides, Islay boasts a wide variety of
wonderful scenery and habitats, including wild open moorland and hills,
unspoilt beaches and cliffs, mixed woodland and mudflats, all of which
offer amazing birding - over 100 species being present on the island
all year round.
Islay measures some 40kms by 30kms at its
extremes - one of the largest and southernmost of the Inner Hebrides,
and thanks to the Gulf Stream enjoys a mild changeable climate.
