IM ashamed to say that Ive only visited a handful of our lovely Scottish islands, and plan soon to remedy this.. my first call will be a very small island called Easdale, and can only be got to by a small boat... Eclectica: Forgotten history - Scotland's Slate Islands
Of course plenty of room... staying in Portavadie marina for a few days then moving on to Kilmelford so we should see a good part of the areas and hopefully visit some islands.
I've been to Arran, Iona, Mull, Bute, Barra, Vatersay, Colonsay, Skye, Easdale, Seil (barely an island), Islay. Still want to visit the Orkneys, Harris and Lewis.
Jeez Ameriscot youve been to more than me.. thats wonderful.. its so expensive isnt it to get to some... My hubby did go to quite a few with his work though...

The ferries are very expensive if you take a car. Since we live in Argyll it's very easy to get to Oban for the ferries. Now that we both have free bus passes we can easily get to Oban, take the ferry to Mull as passengers only, then take a free bus to Fionnphort for a short ferry trip across to Iona. There is a very nice eco-hostel there for only £21/night.
We've done one week stays on Colonsay twice, but needed to take the car. Skye requires a car as well.
When we spent a week on Barra a couple of years ago we saw no need to pay for taking the car over as we wouldn't really have needed it once we got the island. So we did long term parking in Oban and took everywhere over on our bikes. They were really loaded down! We were really lucky as it only rained on one day.
