Gaelic Ring: Barra

Introduction

Travel from Oban to the Outer Hebridean islands of Barra, Eriskay, South Uist, Benbecula and North Uist before sailing to the Isle of Skye. From Skye, take the ferry to Mallaig and complete The Gaelic Ring with the road journey to Oban, passing the West Highland areas of Lochaber, Appin and Benderloch. This Gaelic Ring affords spectacular views of the Sound of Mull before the ferry heads northwest to the picturesque village of Castlebay on Barra. From Barra, travel north through the Gaelic-rich islands of Eriskay and the Uists and savour the varying landscapes and seascapes of these islands. Skye is also rich in Gaelic culture and tradition and there are many places of interest as you travel from the ferry port of Uig in the north, to Armadale in the south.
