Small ship cruising vacations in Scotland
Scotland’s islands are some of the most idyllic in the world. With a celtic rather than Caribbean twist, of course. But stunning beyond belief. You can’t do them all in a week, but you can make a fine start on a Scotland cruising vacation. There are 790 offshore islands by the way, in the following groups: Shetland, Orkney, and the Hebrides, sub-divided into the Inner Hebrides and Outer Hebrides.
