"Perched above the sea in remote Achiltibuie, the Brochs of Coigach are two stunning stone dwellings that blend ancient design with modern luxury. With panoramic views of the Summer Isles, red deer grazing nearby and sea eagles overhead, it's a true escape into the wild. Visit in autumn for fiery sunsets, crisp air and a chance to see the northern lights. The midges are gone, the beach below is perfect for evening walks and the silence is unforgettable."
"Astypalaia has the same pretty, white-washed houses you see on famous Greek islands, but it's far less busy. The main town, Chora, is beautiful, with buildings leading up a hill to an old castle. We rented a small apartment and spent our days on quiet pebble beaches that we had almost to ourselves. It's a genuinely peaceful place where you can properly switch off from the noise of modern life."
Berneray in the Outer Hebrides offers true remoteness, with the rare machair grassland leading to a three-mile white West Beach overlooking the North Atlantic. Accommodation includes a Gatliff Hebridean hostel of two converted crofts offering bunk beds for about £20 a night in an ultra-quiet setting. The Brochs of Coigach near Ullapool sit above the sea in Achiltibuie, providing panoramic Summer Isles views, sightings of red deer and sea eagles, fiery autumn sunsets and potential northern lights. Astypalaia features white-washed Chora buildings and quiet pebble beaches, and the island is piloting an emission-free transport scheme with grants for electric vehicles.
