Eilean Aigas

Eilean Aigas is a river island in the Beauly River within the Scottish Highlands, connected to the mainland by a distinctive white bridge. The site contains a residential property and rises noticeably above the surrounding water level.

The island was in the hands of the Sobieski Stuarts during the 19th century, who maintained a hunting lodge there. Ownership changed hands later, bringing architectural developments to the property over time.

Writers have been drawn to this island over the decades, finding inspiration in its isolated setting among river waters. The location became known as a retreat for those seeking peace away from city life.

Access to the island is by the white bridge, reachable from the nearby village of Kiltarlity in the area. Visitors should be aware of river conditions and local access restrictions when planning to explore the surroundings.

The main residence was completely rebuilt in the 2000s with a design inspired by a Victorian-era hunting lodge. This modern construction creates an interesting blend of historical reference and contemporary building.
