Islay and Machrihanish are untouched, beautiful Scotland at its very best. The region is isolated from much of Scotland which has added to its charm and way of life that feels unchanged from the past, perhaps why Beatle, Paul McCartney, purchased a farm here a few years ago to relax and escape from the stresses of life.
The region, however, can be reached by car from Edinburgh in only a few hours or you can catch a ferry from the golfing hotspot of the Ayr Coast and journey around the famous Isle of Arran.
