Not known to many, the Hebrides Islands are about as far off as you can get.  But does that mean it's not a place to visit?  Read this personal account here via The Guardian.

Colonsay was my favourite place. To be specific, a flat rocky outcrop in a field outside a white cottage called Uragaig, at the top of a hill gazing down over Kiloran Bay to the sea, was my favourite place. Every year I counted down the days until I could be sitting by myself on my rock again. Clearly this passed for entertainment in my world. The tiny Hebridean island, all 17 square miles of it, was my continent of childhood bliss. I learned to swim in the large rock pool in Kiloran's shore, under cliffs of overhanging slate, with purple sea anemones under my toes and the frightening waves far out beyond this calm still water.
