lots of good points raised here. We have a fair amount of community owned tourism in the small isles, but we're still struggling with the ferries. thenational.scot/politics/23…

To mean anything, sustainable tourism must be rooted in community

THE lights are going off, the swallows have left, the coffee shops and restaurants are closing, seasonal staff return to “civilisation”, and the islands are preparing for winter.

Small Isles Games Saturday 12th August, starts at about 1.30pm island time 😉 Lots of fun, food and running around guaranteed. Ceilidh later (looking forward to it, not had one since before lockdown) with the fabulously named 'Damien Helliwell and the well flung wellies'

The Small Isles are in my guidebook. Since the time of publication though, I would now check whether Calmac want you to book foot passenger ferry tickets in advance now. bradtguides.com/product/inne…

I can see all four of the Small Isles from here, although Canna is pretty far off. #IsleOfMuck @visitsmallisles @isleofeigg @isleofrum

Great island. Was fortunate to spend a fair chunk of time there for (then) SNH documenting it through a year. WIld and magical is the best way to describe it.
