EiggYoull love if you love: Canada

Jurassic rock formations, looming cliffs, a population of 100 and dolphins, porpoises and whales lurking in the navy blue ocean; Eigg can feel an awful lot like the brooding, eastern coastline of Labrador and Newfoundland. The local population shares the eco-credentials of the Great White North with electricity supplied entirely by wind, sun and wave power, some of it used to generate power for the islands ultra-cool micro label, Lost Map Records. This is one of the last places in Scotland where eagles still breed, though getting here can be tough: there are currently only seven ferries per week (none on Wednesdays) in the winter months that make the 75 minute crossing from Mallaig.

Bothys are the Scottish term for hikers huts, usually free to stay in, which are scattered across the most remote parts of the country. Sweenys Bothy is a spruced up version of these spartan refuges, located on a working sheep farm. In the shadow of the brooding Cleadale cliffs and with views out onto the neighbouring island of Rum, its a simple but hugely charismatic space with a bed, reached by ladder, a wood burning stove and an outdoor shower heated, naturally, by solar power.
