Sgeir na Muighe

Sgeir na Muighe is a small uninhabited island located in Ross-shire, Scotland. It is situated off the northwest coast of the Scottish mainland, specifically in the Inner Sound, between the Isle of Skye and the Applecross Peninsula. The island is part of the Inner Hebrides archipelago.

Sgeir na Muighe covers an area of approximately 0.15 hectares and has a rugged and rocky terrain. It is primarily composed of basalt, with scattered grass and low-lying vegetation covering parts of the island. The coastline is characterized by steep cliffs and rocky outcrops, making it inaccessible for most visitors.

Due to its remote location and challenging terrain, Sgeir na Muighe is not easily accessible to the general public. The island is a haven for various seabird species, including guillemots, razorbills, and fulmars, which use the cliffs as nesting sites during the breeding season. Seals can also be spotted in the surrounding waters.

Sgeir na Muighe is not known to have any significant historical or cultural sites, and there are no permanent structures or facilities on the island. However, its natural beauty and wildlife make it a popular destination for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts who are willing to undertake the necessary preparations and means to visit this remote and untouched island.
