Your favourite Scottish Island

Mad Welshie · Posted: Thu Apr 23, 2009 4:23 am Post subject: Your favourite Scottish Island

If you was left to be stranded on a Island of Scotland, which would you choose and why?

I would love to be somewhere on The Isle Of Jura, for its wild and stunning beauty.

My first thought would be Canna or Eilean Shona. I have happy memories of there but I suppose I should really pick Arran seeing as it is "Scotland in miniature"

This is too hard to do. There are just too many Every island has something about it

Jura is lovely. It's own wee climate

I would also say Barra and Vatersay - such a beautiful place but have not been there since I was about 10. I doubt it has changed so much?

Why is it Mr X that midges always bite in places that they shouldn't?

It's because they are so small, but I think they are demons.
Though, I must admit, I'm glad they are that small.
Imagine if they were the size of dolphins, or summat?

I love the Isle of Skye, and in particular the Stein Inn at Waternish but for isolation and peace I would go to St. Kilda and be at one with nature. (and all the sea birds of course )

I had a friend once who said "I have an Ocean in my yard, why don't you meet me at high tide". I did and went to the Shetland Isles on holiday. Such memories of youth.

I'm playing a gig on Skye this Friday coming.
I love playing there, they treat you really well, and give you beer.

Mull is another favourite of mine especially during the music festival. Has anyone been to that annual event ? Tobermory really rocks then, or at least it did last time I was there.

North Uist for me - some beautiful beaches there. Skye comes a close second though - got a painting of the Cuillins in my livingroom

I would have to choose the Isle of Gigha,very small and quiet with beauty all around.

Where on Earth is that sissy?

Maybe I should just look it up and not be so lazy

Jim can be the designated driver Sissy.

When shall we tell him of our cunning plan?
