Baramore, Highland Planning Applications

Eilean Shona is a tidal island located at the entrance of Loch Moidart on Scotland's west coast, just north of the Ardnamurchan Peninsula. Covering 525 hectares, it boasts a highest peak of 265 metres at Beinn a' Bhàillidh and five additional summits over 150 metres, offering stunning views of the surrounding sea and nearby islands such as Rhum, Eigg, and Skye. Accessible via a short boat ride from the mainland, Eilean Shona's name is believed to derive from Old Norse, translating to "sea island," while its pre-Norse Gaelic name suggests a connection to its coastal geography.
