The HX Expeditions Scottish Isles cruise reaches its most dramatic chapter - and days five, six and seven deliver in every way. We continue the expedition at St Kilda, one of the most remote and haunting places in the British Isles. An abandoned archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic, we explore the island on foot before boarding the zodiac to get up close with thousands of puffins. No roads, no shops, no permanent residents - just cliffs, seabirds, and silence. Day six takes us to Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis, where we explore Lews Castle and its museum - home to the legendary Lewis Chessmen, the medieval Viking chess pieces that have fascinated historians for centuries - before a walk up Gallows Hill with sweeping views across the town. Day seven: the Isle of Skye in the morning, dramatic and moody as ever, followed by a stop at the tiny, barely-visited Isle of Muck. Expedition cruising at its most unpredictable.
