place whether you are a beginner or a pro. Sailing,
canoeing and wind surfing are all catered for.

the main street in Castlebay.
Hill Walking
Barra's hilly terrain offers the perfect
opportunity to go off the beaten track and explore this
beautiful island further. The highest peak in Barra is
Heaval at 1260 feet with a statue of the Virgin and Child on
its slopes and offering breathtaking views of neighbouring
islands, well worth the effort!
Golfing
If you want a challenge or just appreciate
beautiful scenery, why not try a round at the most westerly
golf course in Britain. Memberships available from
Mairi Campbell on 01871810240.
Swimming
If the refreshing water of the Atlantic does not
appeal, you may prefer to try somewhere a little warmer!
Thankfully there is an indoor swimming pool located in the
island's secondary school in Castlebay. |
