Tiree is approximately 12 miles by 3 miles, depending on which guide book you read or, possibly whether the tide is in out ;o) We are however, definitely surrounded by clear blue waters and beautiful beaches.  Tiree is fairly flat, but does actually have three distinctive hills; Ceann a mhara (103m)  Beinn Hough (119m) and Carnan Mor (141m).  It has been known as the Land of Corn, and also the Land under the sea, but it is mostly recognised as being the sunniest and the windiest place in the UK. 

People are attracted to Tiree for wind/watersports, ornithology, botany, horse riding, relaxation and general tourism. Our local community website is a really good concise source of further information about the island and it’s culture, see www.isleoftiree.com/

We plan to develop a varied range of information that will be available to guests to make the most of you stay with us. However, if you just fancy a gentle stroll we can recommend the walk to the south of Cèabhar.

Walking south across the Machair over the common land you end up skirting along Gilean beach. The beach is generally totally deserted, other than the odd cow or sheep. The route then leads gradually to the foot of Ceann a mhara. That is, after you’ve spent some time exploring the caves and natural arches around Eilean Dubh and watching the seabirds on the cliffs to the seaward side of the hill.
