Barra Airport Beach Runway

Highlight • Beach

The most scenic airport you will ever see. Well worth going at the correct times to watch the planes land.

Tip by

10.8 km

Discover this beautiful beach fit with glorious white sands and turquoise blue waters habitual to the stunning Outer Hebrides in Scotland.

There is an opportunity to scramble along the cliffs here and reach a lookout cave home to otters and doves. Be mindful, though, as there is not a clear path to follow.

Loch An Duin Climb from Northbay

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The Loch An Duin climb from Northbay on the Isle of Barra is a remote, rolling ascent averaging 6%, with ramps nudging 12%. The single-track road rises steadily through moorland and lochside scenery, with sweeping views and barely another soul in sight. The climb feels exposed, especially in the wind, so pace yourself and stay relaxed on the pedals. It’s a quiet climb through wild and open island landscape.
