The main village on Barra island, Castlebay is a lovely place that gives a taste of Hebridean life. Here, you find a smattering of quaint shops and cafes, several grocery stores, a bank and post office.
The village overlooks Kisimul Castle, a stunning castle on a tiny island in the middle of the sea. In 2001, the chief of Clan MacNeil leased the castle to Historic Scotland for 1,000 years. The price? £1 and a bottle of whisky per year.

Castlebay is the main village on Barra so pick up any supplies that you need here before heading off. The A888 road around the island is a nice ride on its own or you can link up with some of the other islands. The Hebridean Way long distance cycle way starts at neighbouring Vatersay and then crosses Bara, most people start the ride at the ferry port here riding an out and back to Vatersay to start before heading north.

The cute Castlebay is the main town of Barra. On a small island, just off the coast, is the Kisimul fortress. It is worthwhile to explore the lanes of the village.
