Sinsull, I live near Lincoln, UK, but I've travelled the UK very widely by both land and sea.

MeganL - I did forget the brig, and I also forgot the Puffer that takes people on trips up and down the Loch.

Greg - didn't mention Iona, Staffa, Rum, Canna, Muck, Eigg as destinations because of the difficulty/distances involved in getting there, but you're right - they are absolute gems and should be visited at least once in a lifetime

Cuillion - How right you are about the Outer Hebrides, Castlebay holds some wonderful memories for me (the great view of the bay and Kisimul Castle from the pub being one of them) LOL! Also the view from the top of the hill. Magnificent! But the best of all is, of course, the St. Kilda group. Difficult to get to but, if you're allowed to land on Hirta, well worth the effort. A mystical place, you feel as though you're on the edge of the world. Definitely on my list of 'Must-Return' places.
