Itinerary
Departure is from Tobermory, one of the most picturesque towns in the Western Isles. A dinghy ride from a pontoon in this most sheltered of natural harbours takes you to the St Hilda, resting at anchor. After a short introduction to life on board our small ship, there...
After breakfast we lift anchor and head for the Small Isles. Our destination is the small island of Muck (Muck is Gaelic for 'Pig'), which is only a couple of miles long and a mile wide. Ashore there are wonderful coastal walks and many seabirds. On Horse Island, which is accessible at low water, there is a colony of puffins.
We up anchor and head for Eigg which has the "Sguirr of Eigg", an ancient, eroded volcanic plug that creates a dramatic cliff on the east side of the island and a high ridge which runs west. There are beautiful white-sand bays and a quartz beach that creates the famou...
We visit wild and remote Loch Scavaig on the Isle of Skye, the most dramatic anchorage in Scotland, if not Europe. The loch is situated below the mighty Black Cuillins mountains, famous for their difficult rock climbs, and a large colony of seals on Sgeir Doigich. We...
Up anchor and sail for Canna, possibly the most beautiful of all the Small islands. Its 200 metre high cliffs of Compass Hill rise dramatically out of the sea and we have a good chance of seeing both sea and golden eagles The anchorage on Canna is one of the best of the Small Isles and a stroll ashore to see the wild flower meadows of Sanday's Machair is a pure delight.
Up anchor and make our way along the sea cliffs of the west coast of Rum to enjoy wonderful sea views of Eigg and Muck before we sail back to the Isle of Mull and our anchorage off Tobermory.
After a breakfast, disembark at around 1100, the end of a remarkable sea voyage.

Accommodation
St Hilda is one of the smallest of the “Tall Ships” and has competed in several Tall Ship races. There are two cabins, a roomy, double, en-suite in the aft cabin and in the fore cabin there are four, comfortable berths, with an adjacent toilet and shower . You admire the views from her open decks and eat in an airy, well-lit saloon and, what a pleasure it is, to wake up to the sound of the water lapping against the hull. A truly unforgettable Scotland holiday!
