The Norsemen had the right idea when they first named the Isle of Gigha – they called it Gudey, meaning good, or ‘God’s Island’. This five-square-mile getaway off the west coast of the Kintyre peninsula does have an other-worldly feel, with its white sand beaches, clear, turquoise-coloured sea and balmy microclimate.

In the days of the Royal Yacht Britannia, Gigha was a favourite of the Royal Family, who would call in while touring the Hebrides by sea. Princess Anne has visited in a formal capacity to open new housing and also once arrived unexpectedly in the shop - looking for a lift for herself and her mum, Her Majesty the Queen.

Island life centres around Gigha’s only village, Ardminish, on the south-eastern side of the island, facing the mainland. The ferry docks here after its 20-minute trip from Tayinloan and the bay is also home to the island’s popular pontoons.

While vehicles are welcome, the low-lying landscape and quiet roads also make this an ideal destination for exploration on foot or bike. A new footpath and cycle network
