Wildlife

A stunning array of wildlife and birdlife can be seen amongst the splendid and remote scenery of the The Summer Isles.  The islands are best explored by sea as you can explore the smaller isles and visit of some of the caves and the natural arch. There are great bird colonies which can be found on Priest Island and will come close to sea birds like Gillemots, Shags and Puffins.

If you are lucky you might even get to see Porpoises, Basking Sharks or even a Whale
