This is one of the most remote breaks we have been on: an immersive nature and star gazing adventure in the stunning rural environment of Rum, the largest of the Small Isles yet inhabited by only 40 people.

There will also be plenty of opportunities to relax, read, go bird watching or wild swimming — and if we are lucky, perhaps the chance to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

The first and last night will be spent in a hotel, in Malaig, returning to Edinburgh on the Tuesday. 

We will be staying in bunkhouse accommodation on the island itself, where sharing with another carer will be necessary.

Please note that we will have no transport on the island, so a good level of fitness is required.
