A Scots island has been named among the best in Europe ‘for getting away from almost everyone’. The 10-strong list was drawn up by CNN Travel to highlight "lesser known" islands that offer visitors the chance to “ditch the crowds and get closer to nature”. The list features islands such as Alicudi in Sicily, Rathlin Island in Northern Ireland, Flores Island in the Azores, Heimaey in Iceland and Naustholmen in Norway. “Intrepid surfers know Tiree for its uncrowded beach breaks, and the eight-room Reef Inn caters to the board-riding crowd. Visitors arrive on Tiree via four-hour ferry rides from Oban or flights from Oban or Glasgow on Loganair.”To view the full list, click here
