Eilean Mullagrach is an island in the Summer Isles of Scotland.[3] It is located in Highland council area, in the northwestern part of the country, 800 km northwest of the United Kingdom capital London. It is the most northerly of the Summer Isles.[4] Its area is 39 hectares[1][Note 1] and the maximum elevation is 46 metres (151 ft).[2]
In 2024 the island, which has a small cabin and landing point with ladders for a small boat, was put up for sale for "offers over £500,000".[1]
Bird life on the island includes kittiwakes, bonxies, shags and fulmars.[1]
Notes[edit]
- ^ The Gazetteer for Scotland states 75 ha[4] and "Rick Livingstone's Tables" has 29 ha[5] but the BBC's estimate corresponds more closely to an aproximation from Ordnance Survey maps. Haswell-Smith does not include it in his tables of islands greater in area than 40 ha.[6]
