The west coast of Scotland is rich with airfield’s to visit.

[Oban]

However Oban on a nice day has a stunning approach to runway 01. Also a restaurant within walking distance located beside the water in North Connell.

[Broadford (Skye)]

Broadford (Skye) Also a great little field however be aware unless you can get a cab from the strip you have a 3 mile walk into town.

[Tiree]

Also recommend Tiree on a nice sunny day. The East coast beaches are stunning. We hired a car for £20's for the day and traveled around the Island.

[Campbeltown]

Another must airfield. Only at Campbeltown can you be landing at a 3000 metre runway and be one of a couple of movements that day. Very strange flying into moth balled RAF base.

[Islay]

Last but most definitely not least. ISLAY a very GA friendly airfield. A Whisky is a definite must for the PNF (Pilot not flying) at Bowmore.

Have fun flying. Spoilt for choice in Scotland.
