Background
History
From about 1810 to 1920 Eilean Mòr was home for several families, evicted from Applecross, but unwilling to take passage from Scotland to far-off lands. By agreement with the landowning Mackenzie laird they were allowed to settle on the islands and make what living they could by fishing, pasturing sheep, gathering kelp and farming. The ruins of drystone shielings and a chapel are still visible on the islands. The steam trawler the Scomber was sunk off the coast of Eilean Beag in 1923, though the exact location of the wreck is unknown.
