Eilean Tigh The small island between Rona and Raasay peaks at 111m and is seen here across the Sound of Raasay from the Trotternish coast on Skye. Despite its name ("house island") it is uninhabited. The smaller island to its left is Garbh Eilean, which is separated from Rona, whose southern tip is at the left edge of the photo, only by a tidal beach.
