The stunning Isle of Rum off the west coast of Scotland is a must-visit for hikers, climbers, nature lovers, and anybody else looking to get off the beaten track.

With 93 inhabited isles and nearly 800 in total, it is a herculean task to explore each one. If you have to choose just one to explore, then it is hard to top the Isle of Rum.

Rum's unique shape has earned it the tagline "diamond in shape and diamond by nature". The island is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike, offering stunning hikes and pristine beaches to explore. Elsewhere, for those who relish a challenge, Rum's volcanic peaks beckon to be conquered — and you might even spot a sea eagle or two. In fact, with the island managed by NatureScot as a nature reserve, it is a hotspot for biodiversity.

What Rum might lack in amenities, however, it more than makes up for in natural splendour. The Rum Igneous Complex has been recognised as one of three Scottish sites of 'international scientific relevance' by the International Union of Geological Sciences.
