Description: Barra Airport, in Na h-Eileanan Siar in the west of Scotland, is unique: it's the only commercial airport where the runway's made of sand, and tide covers it up twice a day. Here's how it works. Thanks to all the team at Barra Airport: hial.co.uk/barra-airport I chartered with Hebridean Air Services from Oban: hebrideanair.co.uk Scheduled flights are available with Loganair: loganair.co.uk Editor: Michelle Martin (@mrsmmartin) Location fixer: Vikki McCraw from Locations 365 locations365.co.uk Filmed safely: tomscott.com/safe I'm at tomscott.com on Twitter at twitter.com/tomscott on Facebook at facebook.com/tomscott and on Instagram as tomscottgo
