Earlier this month,
London-based travel book company Rough
Guide named the Outer Hebrides as one of the world’s top ten places to
visit in 2016. As the sole British region and one of only three from Europe to
make the list, the Western Isles stands proud amongst some of the most exotic locations
on the planet. The publication
describes the Western Isles as follows: "During the long summer days, the
isles’ turquoise waters and white sandy beaches appear Caribbean-like,
with top-notch waves for surfers and kiteboarders. "Inland, castles, archeological
sites, museums and quaint cottages make for perfect stops along the dramatic
walking trails and cycle routes. "While each island possesses a unique
character, all are spectacular and overlooked." Rough Guide’s top ten list 1. Alaska, USA 2. Gujarat,
