Outdoor adventure Culture

Surf's up, and sunny

Tiree has some of the highest levels of sunshine in the UK, and the white beaches draw surfers from across the world. If you're not up for the waves, take a look at the twelve remaining Blackhouses - traditional thatched buildings, some with walls six-foot thick. There's a music festival in July, when the island comes to life for three days of music, camping, and adventure. In October the windsurfers descend on the island to battle the breaks in the Tiree Wave Classic.
