The Hebridean Toffee Factory in Castlebay is one of the few manufacturers on Barra. The fish factory, Barratlantic, in Northbay is a major contributor to the island's economy. A new venture, the Isle of Barra distillery producing around 25,000 litres per annum, is planned for Borve on the west side of the island. When operational it will be amongst the smallest in Scotland and the second distillery in the Outer Hebrides. Tourism is the main income for the majority of islanders. The main tourist season lasts from May to September. Thousands of people visit the Island every year, the busiest times are during Fèis Bharraigh & BarraFest in July. Boat trips to the neighbouring island of Mingulay are available during the Summer season, island hopping plane trips are also available. If you want to get away from it all, visit the tiny Isles of Barra and Eriskay for their empty golden beaches, wild flowers, sandy grasslands and rugged interior. The Isle of Barra is one of the most attractive little islands in Britain and recently came first in a Most Beautiful Island competition.
