Back in 2005 I started the website www.islayinfo.com some years later followed by the www.jurainfo.com site. Both sites are dedicated to some of the most beautiful islands in the Inner Hebrides. The Southern Hebrides website and blog is for me a logical follow up of the Islay and Jura websites and it’s also a homage to this magical part of Scotland.

There are many islands in the Southern Hebrides, most of them are not (yet) visited by me. But that didn’t stop me from making this website. Building each page and doing research on the islands and their history was a learning process, something I did, and still do, with great pleasure. For me it’s an escape into a world I don’t live in but would love to be a part of. My trips to this part of the world are the highlight of each year and every time I discover new features, learn more and get to know more people and even make close friends.

The Southern Hebrides blog is a place where I want to share snippets of island information and pictures which I find on my real as well as virtual journeys. Don’t expect daily posts but every now and then I will try to give you some background information about this fantastic area which is so much worth visiting and cherishing.

Thanks very much for your visit and I welcome you back anytime. If you have any comments, want to see certain information here or just want to send me an email please feel free to contact me through my feedback form.
