Rùm, Remote island in Inner Hebrides, Scotland

The 10,463-hectare island contains mountains, forests, and coastal areas, with the Cuillin range forming its central mountainous terrain.

Archaeological evidence from the 8th millennium BC shows early human settlements, marking some of Scotland's first documented human activities.

The community of 40 residents maintains Gaelic traditions while operating the Kinloch settlement, which includes a village hall for gatherings.

Caledonian MacBrayne ferries connect the island to mainland Scotland through Loch Scresort, requiring advance booking for transportation.

The island serves as a research center for red deer behavior studies and maintains a substantial population of white-tailed sea eagles.
