Eilean Tioram is a small, uninhabited island located off the coast of Inverness-shire in Scotland. The island is situated at the mouth of Loch Moidart and is known for its rugged, rocky terrain and stunning coastal views. Eilean Tioram is accessible only by boat and is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts.

The island is home to a variety of wildlife, including seabirds, seals, and occasionally otters. The rocky shores and cliffs provide nesting sites for birds such as puffins and guillemots, making it a paradise for birdwatchers.

Eilean Tioram is also known for its historical significance, with the ruins of a 13th-century castle located on the island. The castle, which gives the island its name (Tioram means "dry" in Gaelic), was once a stronghold of the Clan MacDonald but has been abandoned for centuries.

Overall, Eilean Tioram is a picturesque and peaceful island that offers visitors a chance to experience the natural beauty and history of the Scottish coast.

The mountain ridge rising above the buildings is the western end of an extended feature, Druim Fada; the distant top along it must be a knoll of Sgùrr Mor at 614 or 627 m. but there&#039;s a higher point further to the east, out of sight.
