Creator's Key Takeaways

the hebrides islands just off the coast of scotland are among my favorite places in the world

silversea expedition ships have taken me to the outer hebrides a number of times over the last 10 years and more

it's difficult to beat the hebridean islands for their richness in history architecture wildlife and natural beauty

the stones were placed here approximately 5000 years ago so just predate the better known and larger stonehenge

“The Hebrides Islands just off the coast of Scotland are among my favorite places in the world,” says historian Victorian Salem. “Silversea Expedition ships have taken me to the Outer Hebrides a number of times over the last 10 years and more”.
