Barra Airport is situated in the wide, shallow bay of Traigh Mhòr, at the northern tip of the island of Barra in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides. Aircraft have used the beach as an air ambulance landing site since 1933 and for scheduled passenger flights since 1936, with three “runways” marked in a triangle so pilots can land into the wind from any direction, weather permitting.

What to See on Barra

The hilltop village of Castlebay overlooks Kisimul Castle, a medieval island fortress in the bay, and the beach at Traigh Mhòr can be freely explored on foot when it isn’t in use as a runway.

Yes, flights can only land and depart during low tide, since the beach runway is submerged at high tide. Schedules are set according to tidal charts and can shift accordingly.
No, Barra Airport operates domestic flights only, connecting to Glasgow. International travelers can connect through Glasgow Airport.
