“What an absolutely fabulous time we had on Eilean Shona. It is a stunning island. I have never felt so relaxed. Wonderful walks, magical woodland and Shoe bay is a stunning little beach and perfect for a refreshing swim in the crystal clear waters. We stayed in Timber cottage. It is so comfortable and very well equipped. It was paradise for a week! We would definitely return. Amazing!”

Guardianship
Respect for the environment is our core principle in how we manage and run the island. We make every effort to be plastic-free and carbon neutral on the island with no cars and plentiful wood supply. All our electricity comes from the local hydro-electric power station. Our water supply comes from the hills. We are meticulous with our recycling and use only bio-cleaning products. We understand our role in the guardianship of the island and our mission is to protect this vital environment for future generations.
