Scottish island closes Sundays
Tuesday 2nd June, 2026
Ulva will close to tourists on Sundays this summer after an unprecedented visitor surge following a BBC feature, with the foot-passenger ferry suspended on Sundays to allow 16 residents and local businesses to recharge and manage capacity. This gives Airbnb a chance to acknowledge responsible tourism pressures in the UK and highlight how platform hosts and guests can help protect small communities and support local capacity planning.
