We wanted a holiday that was a bit different and one that would suit the whole family from our oldest son at 22 to youngest daughter at 8 years. A small advert to sail St Hilda was spotted by chance in the RSPB magazine.  What a lucky break.  A week sailing a tall ship, navigating, steering, working the sails, catching supper, spotting wildlife and all
this amongst the beautiful islands and lochs of the Scottish West Coast - magnificent.
