Traditional, Hebridean thatched cottage. Quiet position for ornithologists and botanists. Views of Lochaphuil and Kenavara, Balephuil and Sandaig. Beautiful beaches of Balephuil and Sandaig are nearby. Tiree is the most outer of the Inner Hebrides and surprisingly lies as far west as the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides. It is approximately 11 miles long and between 1 to 6 miles in width. It has three hills Ben Hynish, Ben Hough and Kenavara, the home of Fulmars, Kittiwakes, Razor bills, Guillemots, etc. It has some of the finest machair land in the Hebrides. The Gaelic name Tir-lodh means "the land of corn" and it was once known as the Granary of the Isles. Crofting is the main source of income with lobster fishing, the Airport and the Weather Station providing other employment. Tiree often tops the sunshine records in May and June. The weather, though often windy, is generally mild. For the botanist, ornithologist and the archaeologist the island has much to offer; there is also walking, cycling, golf, wind surfing, and pony trekking, kite-surfing, land yachting and fishing. There are also pleasure boat trips to Fingal's cave and the Skerryvore Lighthouse. Special Features
