There can be no more dramatic or romantic an arrival to the Isle of Barra than on Loganair’s scheduled air services from Glasgow and Barra. Traigh Mhor, a 2 mile cockle shell strand, serves as the island’s runway, and as such, flights work to a flexible timetable as the runway disappears twice a day under the incoming tide.
