Calve Island, Tidal island in Inner Hebrides, Scotland
Calve Island extends 2 kilometers in length and 800 meters in width, providing natural shelter for Tobermory Bay on the Isle of Mull.
The island maintained agricultural activity through a single extended family in 1934, as documented during a notable kayak expedition by Alastair Dunnett.
The island carries the Gaelic name Eilean Chailbhe, reflecting the strong linguistic traditions of the Inner Hebrides region of Scotland.
Access to Calve Island requires careful planning around low tide schedules through a passage called Dòirlinn a' Chailbhe from the Isle of Mull.
A whitewashed farmhouse with substantial outbuildings stands on the western shore, serving as a summer residence for the Cotton family.
