The small island of Staffa (off the west coast of Scotland) is famed for its magnificent and unusual black basalt rock formations. The island’s pillars with their geometric forms were formed by a huge volcanic eruption during the Tertiary Era about 70 million years ago and this is the result of a unique lava cooling process. Today the island is uninhabited and is a National Nature Reserve, where kittiwakes, razorbills, grey seals, basking sharks and dolphins make their home.

Staffa’s most famous landmark is a sea cave – Fingal’s Cave. The cave is huge and you are surrounded by the distinctive hexagonal columns of basalt that look almost man-made. The cave stretches 250 feet in to the rock and its roof is 70 feet above the sea.  The sea surges in with a cacophony of noise and cascades of white foam. There is a path in on one side which involves stepping from the top of one column to the next.

The Pitcairn Islands are group of four separate volcanic islands in the southern Pacific Ocean. Farther from any continent than any other inhabited island the group is consists of: Pitcairn (main island), Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands. Became the first British Pacific island colony in 1838, it is most isolated British dependency with a sovereign jurisdiction. It’s also the tiniest one on earth, with only 48 residents from 9 original families. It is an extremely isolated – roughly 2170km of Tahiti, just over 6600km from Panama and are accessible only via a 30 hour boat ride from Mangareva Island.

Henderson Island is the largest island and it is one of the few atolls in the world whose ecology has been practically untouched by a human presence. Because of its isolated location, the island provides the ideal context for studying the dynamics of insular evolution and natural selection. It is particularly notable for the 10 plants and four land birds that are endemic to the island.

Most of Henderson Island is densely vegetated with pristine forest and thick scrub that has been undisturbed for the last 400 years. There are very few non-native plant species on the island. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with several endangered bird species.

Tristan da Cunha Group is an archipelago of fairly small islands in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean. It is a territory of the United Kingdom and consists of the five islands of Tristan da Cunha, Inaccessible Island, Nightingale Island, Middle Island, and the Stoltenhoff Island. Tristan da Cunha is the most remote inhabited island in the world – to be exact, it lies 2,430 km from its nearest land (St. Helena) and over 2800 km to the nearest continent Africa -Cape of Good Hope.

The island of Tristan da Cunha forms a circular-shaped volcanic cone with a circumference of 34 km with avarage10 km in diameter and total area of 98 km². The central peak of the island, rising to 2,060 m, is the summit of an active volcano that rises over 5,700 m above the ocean floor. Situated in the South Atlantic, summer on Tristan da Cunha falls between December to March. During the winter months the central peak, rising to a height of 2010m, is covered in snow. Tristan rises out of the ocean, its volcanic peak crowned with an almost permanent cap of white cloud.

Lying halfway between the Orkneys and The Shetlands, Fair Isle is a tiny isolated island, with a population of about 70 souls. Just 4.8 km long and 2.4 km wide, it is probably the windiest of the British Isles. The island is part of the National Trust for Scotland and is a paradise for birds, ornithologists and twitchers, and each year hundred of birders flock there. Photo by: billynxn

The majority of the population inhabit the southern end of the island, as this is where the only crofting land is available. Fair Island Crafts, an island cooperative produces the famous Fair Isle knitwear, the profits from which have funded the island’s wind and diesel electricity generators. Photo by: shumtik

The north and the west of the island have the finest and most dramatic scenery. Steep, red sandstone cliffs rising from the water have been pounded by the waves and battered by the wind into convoluted shapes cut by narrow inlets and caves, while rock arches and sea stacks litter the coastline. Photo by: shumtik

As for the birds, some 345 different species have been recorded here, the highest number in Britain. Any number of sea birds can be seen, great colonies of them, including puffins and skuas. Fair Isle is on several migration routes, and the Bird Observatory is one of the Europe’s most important centres.

When to go: April, late June to early September and late October for bird watching and late October for rare migrating birds. Population: About 70. How to get there: By air or by ferry from May to September. Photo by: shumtik

Way out in the Atlantic Ocean, some 66 km to the west of the Outer Hebrides, rises the Kilda Archipelago, with the exception of Rockall, the westernmost of British islands. St Kilda belongs to the National Trust for Scotland, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The archipelago consists four main islands – Hirta, Soay, Boreray and Dun, which is almost an extension of Hitra, and several magnificent sea stacks. Hitra has the highest sea cliff in the British Isles, and Stac an Armin, just north of Boreray, is Britain’s highest sea stack. In 2,000, marine scientists found that they are all peaks of the same, drowned mountain. Hitra was inhabited from about 5,000 years ago until 1930, when the last 36 inhabitants asked to be evacuated as conditions there had become untenable.

Hitra’s sheer cliffs just starkly from the sea on three sides, while the fourth has Village Bay, the only possible landing place and the site of main settlement. There are Victorian cottages and many cleits – turf roofed, drystone structures – that were used to store the smoked or wind-dried seabirds. Nearby are numerous archeological sites.

But it’s the birds of St Kilda that are the thing: these are the largest colonies of fulmars, gannets and puffins in Britain. Visually the islands are green but treeless, having no plants growing higher than grass level. Great clouds of birds, unbelievable numbers of them, wheel and shriek in the sky, and clownish puffins whizz up and down the cliffs.

When to go: Mid-May to mid-August. Population: There are small numbers of civilians working on the MOD base, otherwise just a few National Trust volunteers work on Hitra during the summer. How to get there: The best way is to join a National Trust for Scotland working party. Contact the NTS whichever way you want to visit. Photos by: Magda162

In the heart of Poole Harbour, opposite the town of Poole in Dorset, lies Brownsea Island. The Brownsea is wholly owned by the National Trust, and may be visited by the public. All of the Brownsea is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and northern end is leased to the Dorset Wildlife Trust as a Nature Reserve. Photo by: pixel_boy

Brownsea is a place of many habitats, and is home to a wealth of wildlife and plants. It contains saltmarsh, reed beds, freshwater lakes, heathland, peaceful pinewoods, and a brackish lagoon. It is one of the last heavens of the indigenous red squirrel – probably due to having no competition from the grey variety – and there are many non-native sika deer and rabbits. The island has wonderful birds in summer and avocets in winter. Photo by: danny george
