About Eilean Musdile

Eilean Musdile is an island. Location: Argyll and Bute, Scotland.

From Wikipedia

Eilean Musdile (Mansedale) is an islet, and lighthouse to the south west of Lismore in the Inner Hebrides. The island lies in the entrance to Loch Linnhe, separated from Lismore by a sound ¼ miles across. It is a low-lying rock, ten acres (4.0 hectares) in size, with some grass on it. CalMac ferries pass close to the island on their way from Oban to Mull. The lighthouse was built by Robert Stevenson in 1833 at a cost of £4260 and initially showed a fixed white light.
