### 5/5 — Great information on islands

After visiting where my Mother came from, this is a great way for me to remember and I have a hope to return for an extended visit.

### 5/5 — Best magazine for an armchair explorer

*2016-09-11*

By far the best magazine I've read concerning the vast expanse of islands that are amongst the plethora that Scotland's coast lays claim to. The historic references and facts never fail to impress myself or my partner. I only wish there was a coastal magazine I could collaborate the two with. Very interesting, I will be a reader as long as their is a magazine being published!
