The capital and largest city in Ireland, Dublin showcases the best of Irish heritage, with layers of history from its 9th century Viking past, booming 18th century Georgian times, scars of early 1900s rebellions to modern groundbreaking infrastructure. Walk the grounds of Ireland’s oldest university, have a few scoops in Temple Bar, or learn how to pour your own perfect pint in the famous Guinness Storehouse. Whatever you decide to get up to, memories of your trip to Dublin will stay with you forever.

The Isle of Man’s history of insisting on doing its own thing, semiautonomous in its decision making from the UK, has led to its reputation of being a somewhat odd or alternative place, out on its own sitting in the Irish Sea. Breathtaking scenery is where most of the island’s attraction lies, with a rugged coastline and dense valleys. The Isle of Man is of course famous for its annual high-octane TT motorbike race held in May and June - not for the faint hearted!

Portrush is a small town with about 6000 inhabitants in the county of Antrim, in Northern Ireland. Portrush offers two great beaches, which are used in summer for swimming and for concerts. In addition, tourists will find a small amusement park and the largest nightclub in Ireland, 'Kelly's'. The Royal Portrush Golf Club is one of the most elite golf clubs of Great Britain and hosted the British Open in 1951. Portrush is ideally located for excursions to some of the biggest tourist attractions in Northern Ireland, including the Giant's Causeway, the Bushmills whiskey brewery and Dunluce Castle. Outside the tourist season, Portrush is primarily a residential city for students from the nearby university in Coleraine.

Rathlin is an island off the northeast coast of Northern Ireland. From this point, it is only 25 kilometers to the Scottish peninsula of Kintyre. Rathlin is known for its seabirds and you can see the kittiwakes and puffins here. The island is partially protected. The population has declined sharply in recent years and only 100 people currently live there.

Iona is an island of the Inner Hebrides in Scotland and is located approximately 1.6 kilometers west of the larger island of Mull. Around 125 people lived on the island in 2001, mostly in the capital Baile Mór. The 8.8 square kilometer island was for centuries the spiritual center of Scotland.

The island of Lunga is the largest of the Treshnish Isles in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Populated until the 19th century Lunga still bears the remains of blackhouses. To the northeast of the island lie the remains of the ruined village, which was abandoned in 1857. Lunga is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest because of its abundant plant life. Many rare and endangered plants are native to the island.

Canna is the westernmost of the Small Isles archipelago, in the Scottish Inner Hebrides, and is renowned for its birdlife, including sea eagles, golden eagles and puffins. The island is 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) long and 1.5 kilometres (0.9 mi) wide.

Loch Scavaig is a river on the Isle of Syke, in Scotland. It is located among the the river Cuillin and flows from Loch Coruisk to meet the sea at Loch na Cuilce. It is possibly the shortest river in the United Kingdom at only a few hundred meters long. This area is a 'must see' for any tourists. The coastal landscape is unique to Scotland and is one of the most magnificent mountainous terrain and spectacular visapoints.

Lewis and Harris in the Outer Hebrides make up the largest island in Scotland. The northern part of the island is called Lewis, the southern is Harris.
