A Visit To Smirisary

Smirisary is a old fishing village on the West Coast of Scotland beyond Glen Uig.

It is remote to say the least with no road, no electricity,water or sewage. The only access to Smirisary is by boat or walking.


The view from the top of the hill that you descend to Smirisary which is often boggy and needs boots

The islands from the left is Muck, Eigg with Rum in the background and to the right.

The old houses are built of stone and without any mortar just good old fashioned skill


The views out to the Atlantic via Eigg are stunning






But life is returning to Smirisary as more & more of the ruins are being converted to holiday houses but only for the hardy!
