HANDA ISLAND

Handa Island is a Nature Reserve, owned by Dr Jean Balfour, and run by the Scottish Wildlife Trust and is situated in the far North West of Scotland. The Island is a nesting site for more than 200,000 seasonal birds! With its magnificent Torridonia

n Sandstone Cliffs, it makes a perfect place for Fulmars, Guillemots and Razorbills to lay eggs, along with the Great Stack of Handa where the Puffins lay their eggs! Skuas and Arctic Skuas are also seasonal inhabitants of the Island and can be seen on the walk to the cliffs, along with the Terns, Red Grouse Eider Ducks and Seagulls! Prices to Handa are £12.50 for adults, £5 for Under 14's and under 5's go free! WHERE TO FIND HANDA?

3 Miles north of Scourie, take a left turn, and drive down the road to Tarbet, which is well sign posted, and come enjoy a lift to Handa on our Polarcirkel Rib that can carry 12 people at a time.
