Barra Airport, Isle of Barra

This has to be one of the most scenic airports in the world, and certainly a nice safe runway. Miles and miles of silver sands - with three different approaches from the sea. it is apparently on the the list of "100 Things to do before you die" - a landing on the beach at Barra.

The commercial flights are operated by FlyBe from Glasgow and land most days of the week with two flights in some days. The plane also island hops up to Benbecula next door. There are also often a number of private planes flying in and out - some just coming in for lunch at the nearby Isle of Barra Hotel.
