If you don't have a car it's best to stay in Brodick where you can get a bus, taxis or hire a bike. Stagecoach buses have all the routes on their website to places like King's Cave & Goat Fell

I liked Orkney when I visited it but my favourite islands would be, in first place, Vatersay, then Barra, then Skye, then Harris, then Bute, then Islay. That's more than five, I admit. And there are loads of wee islands that are now accessible but were not at the time I was travelling the Hebrides. Thanks for loving the islands.

Best time of year for Machrie is (in my experience) March or October / November, especially if it is dry. It is usually lovely if it has been dry for a spell. 2024 has been super wet here as elsewhere. It is a moor, as the label says, so stay on firm paths if it is soggy. You were a bit unlucky. Midgies are not normally a problem, but this year's wet clearly suited them. Summer is often glorious, but the grass is high, which is why March/October is good. Nice video, btw!

The most accessible Scottish Island is The Isle of Cumbrae which is only 10.25 miles in circumference. A day trippers paradise which boasts the smallest Cathedral in Europe, the Cathedral of the Isles which is my local place of worship.

You really must get yourself to Colonsay, as I suspect this video might need to be updated as your favourite SIX islands! With Mull and Iona about 10 miles to the north, the southern view from this island is dominated by the hills known as the Paps of Jura, with Islay also visible to the south west. A further island, Oronsay, can be reached only on foot from Colonsay: this is a bird sanctuary as well as the home of a remarkably-well-preserved 14th Century Abbey; while there is much to see and do on Colonsay itself including sub-tropical woodland gardens, with flowering specimens from all over the world in a semi-wild landscape that unusually for the Hebrides, is protected from the prevailing winds. As well as formal gardens there is also a bookshop, gift/craft shop, award-winning restaurant / cafe, a ruined village, inland lochs stocked with trout for fishing (with permits), a golf course, church, hotel with public bar; village hall (weekly ceilidhs on summer Saturdays); shop/post office, numerous hills, footpaths, white sandy beaches, a golf course, heritage centre and the world's smallest micro-brewery!

Fun fact: there's no legal document in existence that makes Shetland a part of Scotland. Technically, we're still part of Norway. And yes, my family tree comes from a man called Hendrich Hendrichsson in the 1400s.

I have a question for you about the stone circles: Can they be seen from the sea? In other words if they were constructed for the benefit of the mariners, could the passers by see the stones while they were in the sea?

I don't think they can. I couldn't see them from the coastal road or the car park. They are inland about 2km from the coast.

Thank you! I still haven't found out when it was finally abandoned. Perhaps your relatives were the last ones to live there? I have some older photos of it going back to 2014 & the roof was still on it then. The local museum sent me a picture of a painting of the farm from 1911!
