Replying to CianMcLiam

You can pick up cheap flights from Belfast to Glasgow for pennies (literally) then with a connecting flight to Stornoway you could be there in a few hours.

If you are taking a partner, the west coast drive from Glasgow to the ferry terminal in Uig (Skye), is a holiday in itself, as it takes in a lot of the famous scenery such as Loch Lomond, Rannoch Moor, Glencoe, Ben Nevis, Skye etc'

But, be warned, CalMac ferry prices can be quite horrendous when taking your car over the water.

If you need any info on the Glasgow/west coast area let me know and I'll be happy to help.

I flew into inverness and got the bus from there to Kyleakin on the Isle of Syke, had to hitch from there to Uig, got the ferry over to Tarbert and then had to hitch from there to Stornoway. Went back from stornoway by ferry and got the bus from Ullapool to Inverness.
So id safely say the way to go would be to hire a car. Could be pricy on the ferrys though. Id recommend trying to go via the Isle of Skye, I thought it was beautiful. The only site I saw though was literally Callinish because I didnt have any transport and was hitching around.
Sundays close down totally with no ferries so take that into account as well.
