On Scotland’s northwest coast, windswept emerald headlands, crescent white sand beaches, and aquamarine fjords form a patchwork of islands called the Hebrides. The area is rich in marine life, home to over 24 species of whale, dolphin, and porpoise, thanks to a confluence of warm and cool currents and a unique underwater topography.

Visitors can already access Wild Ken Hill via public footpaths, but from April (hopefully) there will be a choice of 15 guided tours on offer (from £30), ranging from introductions to rewilding to nature-by-night walks and butterfly-spotting hunts. There are plans to allow camping later this year and for a glampsite to be up and running by 2022 (the Rose and Crown in Snettisham is a good base in the meantime,
