Siusaigh is a small, uninhabited island located in Inverness-shire, Scotland. Situated off the northwest coast, it is part of the Inner Hebrides archipelago. The island covers an area of about 50 acres and is surrounded by the vast waters of the North Atlantic Ocean.
Siusaigh is characterized by its rugged and wild terrain, with dramatic cliffs and rocky outcrops dominating the landscape. The island is covered in a thick blanket of heather and grasses, creating a picturesque and untouched scenery. The coastline is indented with small coves and inlets, providing shelter for various seabirds and marine life.
Despite its lack of permanent human settlement, Siusaigh holds historical significance. The ruins of an ancient stone fort, believed to have been constructed during the Iron Age, can still be found on the island. This suggests that it was once inhabited or used for defensive purposes.
