A spread-out and diverse group of islands off the west coast of Scotland, the Hebrides are divided into two categories: The Isle of Skye and Small Isles have been separated from the Hebrides although they are often considered part of them.
''Notes: The term Western Isles is often used to refer to the Hebrides as a whole although it more accurately refers to the Outer Hebrides.''
