Journey to the Hebrides
The New York Times > Travel > An Ancient Scottish Isle
I heard the name of the Outer Hebrides, a chain of islands 40 miles off the northwest coast of Scotland, as a siren's call. Once, as a young reader, I had briefly confused it with the Hesperides, a mythical garden at the edge of the world famous for its golden apples. Ever since, I had thought of those Scottish islands as magical places.
Next time I go to Scotland, I would like to answer the siren's call.
