Stulaigh is a small island located in the county of Inverness-shire, Scotland. It is situated in the Inner Hebrides, specifically in the Sound of Mull, which separates the mainland from the Isle of Mull. Stulaigh is approximately 1 mile long and half a mile wide, with a total area of about 200 acres.

The island is known for its rugged and picturesque landscape, characterized by rolling hills, rocky cliffs, and stunning coastal views. It is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including seabirds, otters, and various species of marine life. Stulaigh has also been designated as a Special Area of Conservation due to its rich biodiversity.

The island has a rich history, with archaeological evidence suggesting human occupation dating back to the Neolithic period. There are several historic sites on Stulaigh, including ancient burial cairns and standing stones, which provide insight into the island's past.

In terms of amenities, Stulaigh is mostly uninhabited, with only a few scattered cottages and a small farm on the island. There are no shops or services available, so visitors are advised to bring their own supplies. However, the island is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and beachcombing.

Access to Stulaigh is primarily by boat, with regular ferry services available from nearby ports. The island's remote location and untouched beauty make it a hidden gem for those seeking a peaceful and unspoiled natural environment.
