The history of the Hebrides is as rich and varied as its landscapes. From ancient standing stones to medieval castles, the islands are steeped in history. Each island has its own unique story, shaped by centuries of human habitation and the ever-present influence of the sea. Exploring these historical sites offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and a deeper understanding of the region’s cultural heritage.
