Tiree Airport (TRE) Isle of Tiree PA77 6UW T 01879 220456 F 01879 220714 Tiree is the most westerly island of the Inner Hebrides and its airport provides scheduled air links to Glasgow, Oban and the island of Coll. Thanks to its location on the Atlantic Ocean, Tiree is one of the sunniest places in the UK. It is also one of the windiest and is a magnet for windsurfers, particularly each October when the island hosts the Tiree Wave Classic, a world championship windsurfing event. Many other people come to the island simply to enjoy the beautiful white sand beaches and dunes, the rich variety of wild flowers and the extensive bird life. Tiree boasts several interesting archaeological remains including a broch and several crannogs, plus museums at Sandaig and Hynish, which give an insight into island life in the past.
