3. Holy Isle, Scotland

Holy Isle, which can be reached by a short journey from the Arran region on the west coast of Scotland, is now almost a spiritual retreat. Visitors usually come to the island for a day or two, stroll around and practice meditation and yoga for spiritual peace, or even attend one of the “lucid dreams and awareness” courses. To go to the Holy Isle, you can fly to Glasgow or Prestwick and take a train from there. Or if you are in a hurry to meditate, you can even hire a helicopter!
