Sgeir Beul na h-Acairseid is a small uninhabited island located off the west coast of Scotland in Argyllshire. It is part of the Inner Hebrides, situated approximately 2 kilometers northwest of the Isle of Mull.

The island is relatively small, measuring only around 200 meters in length and 100 meters in width. It is characterized by its rocky terrain and rugged coastline, with steep cliffs and large boulders scattered across the shoreline. The island is accessible by boat, but visitors should exercise caution due to the treacherous waters and strong currents surrounding it.

Sgeir Beul na h-Acairseid is renowned for its diverse marine life and is a popular spot for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. The surrounding waters are home to a variety of seabirds such as puffins, gannets, and guillemots, which nest on the island's cliffs. The area is also known for its rich underwater ecosystem, with seals, dolphins, and even occasional sightings of whales.

Due to its remote location, there are no facilities or accommodations on the island, making it a perfect destination for those seeking solitude and tranquility. Visitors can enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding sea and Mull's coastline, as well as the opportunity to explore the island's rocky terrain and observe the abundant wildlife.

Sgeir Beul na h-Acairseid offers a unique and untouched natural environment, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventurers looking to immerse themselves in Scotland's wild beauty.
