Scotland to a tea: Kerrera Tea Garden
Getting to the Isle of Kerrera feels like something of a test. The slipway for the ferry is barely signposted, the boat itself is a primitive-looking landing craft with no seats or roof, and its skipper seems intent on not communicating with his passengers unless absolutely necessary. On arrival, only a hand-painted map on the side of a shed helps you to get your bearings.
