Experience the world-renowned basalt columns of Staffa and the towering sea stacks of St Kilda. Alternatively experience the silent, obscure islets like Eilean Dubh (Appin).

My journeys are fuelled by two passions: sailing and island hopping. Reaching many of these remote outposts can only be achieved by private boat. My boat, Trade Winds, is a Farrier 27 trimaran. She utilizes solar and wind turbines operating entirely on clean carbon neutral energy for its domestic or navigational needs. By harnessing wind, wave, and tidal currents resulting it is one of the ‘cleanest’ modes of transport available.
