Eilean Shona, Tidal island in Loch Moidart, Scotland
Eilean Shona spans 525 hectares with six peaks, including Beinn a' Bhàillidh reaching 265 meters, offering views of Rhum, Eigg, and Skye islands.
The island connects to the Macdonalds of Clanranald history, with 37 families leaving in 1851 due to potato blight affecting local settlements.
Author J.M. Barrie spent summers on Eilean Shona during the 1920s, writing the screenplay for Peter Pan and parts of A Kiss for Cinderella.
Visitors reach the island through a boat ride from Dorlin Pier, with eight Hebridean croft cottages available for accommodation throughout the year.
Captain Swinburne established one of Europe's largest pine tree collections on the island after purchasing it for £6,500 in 1853.
