Eilean Eughlam, also known as Eughlam Island, is a small uninhabited island located off the coast of the Ross-shire region in the Scottish Highlands. Situated in the Inner Sound, between the Isle of Skye and the mainland, the island is part of the Inner Hebrides archipelago. Eughlam Island covers an area of approximately 10 hectares (25 acres).

The island is primarily composed of rugged and rocky terrain, with steep cliffs rising from the surrounding sea. Its highest point reaches about 40 meters (130 feet) above sea level. Eughlam Island is home to a variety of seabirds, including puffins, guillemots, and razorbills, which nest on the cliffs during the breeding season.

Access to Eughlam Island is limited due to the lack of regular ferry services. However, it can be visited by boat or kayak. The island offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and is a popular spot for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers.

The waters surrounding Eughlam Island are known for their rich marine life, making it a great location for diving and snorkeling. The area is also frequented by seals and occasionally whales and dolphins.

Overall, Eughlam Island is a secluded and picturesque destination, perfect for those seeking a peaceful and unspoiled natural environment.

East side of Bearnaraigh Beag Setting out from Bostadh on a tour of the islands north of Great Bernera, we quickly passed through Caolas Bearnaraigh and onto the east coast of Little Bernera (Bearnaraigh Beag) and headed for Seildeim (the skerry on the right). This side of the island being low and sheltered, there was not a lot to detain us - the beach came too early in the day for a stop and we were eager to make our way out to islands with more exciting cliff and cave scenery.

Rock-hopping through skerries between Little Bernera and Gaisgeir Coming round the east side of Little Bernera on a day trip out from Bostadh, we have already poked into our first cave of the day just to the south, and are now dodging between skerries as we enter water with a bit less shelter form today's westerly swell. This particular little channel appears to be above high water on every scale of OS mapping, but is easily wide enough for a narrow-beamed (and highly manoeuvrable) boat like a sea kayak.
