Answer 8

Whilst not perhaps the most remote part of Britain, Eskdalemuir in Southern Scotland takes some beating for sheer wilderness while not being completely cut off. Close to Lockerbie.

Answer 9

Foula Island

Located about twenty miles west of Shetland Mainland, in the wilds of the North Atlantic, Foula is THE ideal getaway spot for people who love landscapes, flowers, birds, cetacean life - and who don't hanker for crowds or pubs or fancy restaurants or even shops (because Foula has none of those!)

Answer 10

Who are these people answering Stonehenge in Witshire? About as remote as Picaddilly Circus! Cant move for tourists and tour buses!

Try some of the Islands off the west coast of Scotland. Beautifull and remote. Fill up the car before you go!!!!

Answer 11

I went to Colonsay recently.  Its not the most remote, but it only has about 100 people on it.  Its pretty nice and even has wild mountain goats.  Also has beautiful sandy beaches and more hours of sunlight a year than the mainland.

Answer 12

The archipelago of St Kilda, off the north-west of Scotland. . St Kilda is way out past the isles of the Outer Hebrides; it's a tiny speck in the sea 41 miles beyond Benbecula.

But it's amazingly, astonishingly beautiful, with a haunting history. I've been diving there: the sea life is awesome and the water is about the clearest I've seen anywhere in northern seas.

The whole of St Kilda is a World Heritage Site -- doubly listed, in fact, for its nature (not just the underwater life; it's also a precious haven for nesting seabirds) -- and for its cultural legacy. Until 100 years or so ago, there was a village on Hirta, the main island, with a hundred or more inhabitants. The population dwindled in the early 20th century and the last 36 St Kildans asked to be evacuated to the mainland in 1930.

You can visit now aboard charter boats and yachts, or as a member of the National Trust for Scotland's working parties which go out a few times each year.

For more info, here's the NTS's website for St Kilda (where it's also described as "the remotest place in the British Isles"): http://www.kilda.org.uk/Default.htm

Wow. This has brought back some happy memories.
