The flight to Barra is quite spectacular, so I decided to put some images on their own page.

The flight from Glasgow routes up the Firth of Clyde, across the Argyll Forest, through the Sound of Mull, passing by the islands of Coll and Tiree and then out over the Sea of the Hebrides until reaching Barra. The arrival is quite spectacular too as Barra has the only airport in the world that receives scheduled flights on to a beach. The flight is at low level whenever weather permits.

ark3 has lots of tips and useful information on travel destinations around the world.

The site is in 3 main parts:

  • Posts: which are sorted by category and may cover several subjects within that category - often with recent postings.
  • Pages: which have more detailed information on selected destinations, along with some recommendations.
  • Resources Pages: which contain links to accommodation recommendations, travel booking sites and links to guides/ what's on sites - I have used most of these.

Have a look around, hope you find something useful, welcome...
