This isolated island is home to only around 30 people and is Britain's most remote inhabited island.

Foula is one of the most remote permanently inhabited islands in the United Kingdom, located in the North Atlantic Ocean. It lies approximately 32 kilometers (20 miles) west of the Shetland Islands in Scotland and is surrounded by rugged seas and dramatic cliffs.

The island is part of Scotland and is known for its small, tight-knit community. The population primarily engages in sheep farming and crofting, with a focus on self-sufficiency. Some income is also derived from tourism, as visitors come to see the island’s unique landscapes and abundant birdlife.

Foula is renowned for its stunning scenery, featuring towering cliffs that are among the highest in the UK and providing nesting sites for seabirds such as puffins and skuas. Its remoteness and limited access preserve the island’s unspoiled beauty and tranquility.

The island has no regular ferry service, and its only connection to the outside world is through infrequent flights or private boats. The isolated lifestyle presents challenges but offers residents a unique connection to nature and a way of life largely untouched by modern influences.
