How many islands does Scotland own? Scotland has over 790 islands, with 94 being recorded as inhabited, so it would be a shame not to include a visit to at least one Scottish island on your travels around the country. However, each island is unique and each has its own charm, so it can be difficult to recommend just one to visit.
