    The main village on Barra island, Castlebay is a lovely place that gives a taste of Hebridean life. Here, you find a smattering of quaint shops and cafes, several grocery stores, a bank and post office.

    The village overlooks Kisimul Castle, a stunning castle on a tiny island in the middle of the sea. In 2001, the chief of Clan MacNeil leased the castle to Historic Scotland for 1,000 years. The price? £1 and a bottle of whisky per year.

      The cute Castlebay is the main town of Barra. On a small island, just off the coast, is the Kisimul fortress. It is worthwhile to explore the lanes of the village.
