Tips for Visiting Longay #
- Longay is a small, largely uninhabited Hebridean island-most visitors view it from nearby Skye or from boat trips rather than landing; confirm with local operators whether landings are permitted.
- If you want wildlife or seabird viewing, take a coastal boat tour that passes Longay rather than attempting to reach it independently; viewing from the water avoids disturbing any nesting colonies.
