Sgeir na Comh-Stri is a small uninhabited island located off the west coast of Scotland, in Argyllshire. It is part of the Inner Hebrides archipelago and sits in the Sound of Mull, between the mainland and the Isle of Mull. The island covers an area of approximately 0.1 hectares and is predominantly rocky and rugged.
The name Sgeir na Comh-Stri translates to "rock of the battle" in Gaelic, which reflects the island's historical significance. It is believed to have been a gathering point for fierce battles between rival clans in ancient times.
The island's main feature is a prominent rocky outcrop, rising to a height of about 25 meters. This outcrop is surrounded by smaller rocks and is visible from the surrounding waters, making it an important navigational landmark for ships passing through the Sound of Mull.
Due to its small size and lack of vegetation, Sgeir na Comh-Stri does not support any significant wildlife or plant species. However, it is occasionally visited by seabirds, including gulls and cormorants, which use the rocky outcrop for nesting and resting.
Access to Sgeir na Comh-Stri is limited, as it is not served by any regular ferry or boat services. However, it can be viewed from nearby locations on the Isle of Mull or from boats passing through the Sound of Mull, offering visitors a glimpse of its rugged beauty and historical significance.
