“My mum had said she didn’t want to travel to any other islands, and it made me think when you grow up in one place, you don’t really travel,” Jackson told SWNS.
“So, I wanted to go and explore.”
The traveler said he found each of the locations to be a “fascinating adventure” as he went from the Isle of Barra to the Isle of Gigha and so much more.

He told the SWNS that he “is inspired by islands and their culture after growing up on the Isle of Skye,” which is the largest of the major islands in the Inner Hebrides.
Along his journey, Jackson’s goal was to fully experience the different styles, scenery and lifestyles of the people living at each destination.
“In this trip, I wanted to highlight ‘island life’: people doing different stuff, things going on in the island,” Jackson said.

“I would be up early in the morning to get the sunrises and then the sunsets in the evening too, and I was lucky with the weather I had – surprisingly it only rained one or two days,” Jackson detailed.
Jackson said he was also amazed by the wildlife he saw in front of and behind the camera — from corncrake birds to basking sharks.
