Horse-drawn carriages plod along cobbled centuries-old streets, blending with an easy-going, cosmopolitan outlook.

Almost 200 miles east of Edinburgh, set in Scotland’s Inner Hebrides, this magical island has a spiritual reputation that precedes it. And luckily, more than lives up to. The island is miniscule. Just three miles long and only one and a half miles wide, this is not a place that hums with urban attractions.

Only 48,500 people plus some 70,000 sheep roam these remote lands. Much of the islands’ heritage reflects a medieval past, beginning with the arrival of farmers from western Norway who settled here in the 9th century.

Look out over drama... ### Day 9: Fair Isle **Arrives:** 06:30 AM · **Departs:** 01:00 PM Lying mid-way between Shetland and the Orkney islands, Fair Isle is a tiny jewel in the sea. Famous for birds, knitwear and historic shipwrecks, the island offers a warm and friendly welcome to visitors. With a population of only around 70 people this island is truly a beautiful setting and is one of Britain’s most successful communities. View the cloudy light turquoise water as it drifts out to sea beneath the breath-taking Sheep Rock, rising over 100 metres, which is almost an isle of its own. ### Day 10: Lindisfarne Island **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:30 PM ### Day 10: Farne islands **Arrives:** 02:30 PM · **Departs:** 09:00 PM His favourite place in the UK to see nature at its best, is how David Attenborough described the Farne Islands. The scatter of small islands begins 2.4 kilometres (1.5 miles) off the Northumberland Coast. The islands are dolerite which formed from liquid rock cooling underground. Softer overlying rock has eroded to leave hard rounded columns and fissured dolerite cliffs. The treeless landscape makes viewing of the island wildlife and history easy, even from a boat.

A dramatic balance exists between the high dark buildings of Edinburgh's medieval old town and the classical architecture of its Georgian New Town. The city has an impressive natural setting, overlooked by the dominating mass of "Arthur's Seat," a mountain in miniature. Edinburgh is the administrative and cultural capital of Scotland.
