Wild Beauty
Landing on the Isle of Gigha, you’ll be met by heather-clad hills, sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters. This small Hebridean island was acquired by its 150 inhabitants in 2002. You’ll visit Achamore Gardens, created in 1944. Owing to Gigha's warm microclimate, many sub-tropical plants flourish in the 54-acre gardens alongside native plants and shrubs.
