Location
Easdale Island is a place to live like no other. With its flooded quarries, paths which wind through brambles and sloes and “fool’s gold” speckled slate beaches the landscape is shaped by the bygone quarrying industry which roofed the world. Home to approximately fifty people, Easdale Island has a vibrant community of all ages. A family friendly place with a primary school in Ellenabeich, and a secondary school in Oban, there is also a community hall and a pub/tea room. The island hosts the annual World Stone Skimming Championships each September. Mooring is available in the harbour for private boats and the island is ideal for water activities including wild swimming. Such activities can provide wonderful opportunities to catch a glimpse of the local wildlife which includes porpoises, dolphins, whales, and seals.
