The Outer Hebrides (Western Isles) are some of the most remote islands of the UK. Home to just 26,000 people, the islanders lead a very different way of life to the UK's mainland - with unique culture, a strong sense of community, and 45% of the population even speaking Gaelic! There are nine Coastguard Rescue Teams based on the archipelago of islands found off the west coast of Scotland, covering a large area of over 3000 square kilometres.
