Dà Bhriomag is a small island located off the coast of Ross-shire in the Highland region of Scotland. It is situated in the Inner Hebrides, specifically in the Inner Sound, between the mainland and the Isle of Skye. The name "Dà Bhriomag" translates to "two hillocks" in Gaelic, which accurately describes the island's landscape.

Covering an area of approximately 2 square miles, Dà Bhriomag is characterized by its rugged and rocky terrain, with two prominent hills dominating its landscape. The island is uninhabited and lacks any permanent structures or amenities for visitors.

Despite its small size, Dà Bhriomag is notable for its rich biodiversity. The island is home to a variety of bird species, including puffins, guillemots, and razorbills, making it a popular destination for birdwatchers. The surrounding waters are also teeming with marine life, including seals and porpoises.

Access to Dà Bhriomag is mainly by boat, as there are no bridges connecting it to the mainland or other islands. Visitors can enjoy the tranquil and unspoiled nature of the island, taking in the stunning coastal views and exploring its rocky shores. However, it is important to note that there are no facilities or services available on the island, so visitors should come prepared with food, water, and appropriate outdoor gear.

Dà Bhriomag offers a unique opportunity to experience the untamed beauty of the Scottish Highlands and is a haven for nature enthusiasts seeking solitude and natural wonders.
