Small Isles

Become captivated by Canna, enchanted by Eigg, marvelled by Muck and revitalised by Rum – welcome to the Small Isles…

Whether igniting your adventurous spirit or seeking a tranquil retreat, make memories to last a lifetime exploring this stunning archipelago of islands in the Inner Hebrides. The Small Isles consists of four islands – Canna, Eigg, Muck and Rum, which lie just south of the Isle of Skye between the west coast Scottish mainland and the Western Isles. The Small Isles are connected in many ways, through the surrounding marine habitats, spectacular geological features, renewable energy power systems and resilient communities. However each island has its own character, from being unique Hebridean havens for wildlife to the home of rich cultural heritages connected with the sea.

The Small Isles Community Council represents the island group in matters which affect all islands collectively, and is part of the Highland Council. However, each island is owned and managed differently with its own residents or community association. The Scottish Wildlife Trust is a partner of the Isle of Eigg Heritage Trust, with responsibilities for wildlife conservation policies.
