Eilean Mhic Coinnich, a Private Island, also known as Mackenzie Island, although recorded on the Land Register as McKenseys Island, is an uninhabited island of 17.3 hectares (43 acres) lying off the southern end of the Rinns of Islay peninsula on the Inner Hebridean island of Islay, Scotland.[2]
Lying just off the coast from the village of Portnahaven and north of the island of Orsay, Eilean Mhic Coinnich came onto the market in 2008. In 2010 it was available for offers "in the region of £90,000".[3] The vendor, Gilbert MacNab, of Stirling, grazed cattle there.[2]
