Rhum, Eigg and Skye, Highland
The Small Isles are a small archipelago of islands in the Inner Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland. They lie south of Skye and north of Mull and Ardnamurchan. Rhum is the largest of the Small Isles with an area of 40 square miles and it is one of the most sparsely populated of all Scottish islands. Eigg is the second largest of the Small Isles after Rhum with an area of 12 square miles.
The Isle of Skye, commonly known as Skye, is the largest and northernmost of the major islands in the Inner Hebrides. The island's peninsulas radiate from a mountainous centre dominated by the Black Cuillin and the Red Cuillin, the rocky slopes of which provide some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the UK. Although it has been suggested that the Gaelic name An t-Eilean Sgitheanach describes a winged shape there is no definitive agreement as to the name's origins.
