Summer Isles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the Summer Isles in Scotland. Bermuda and an area of islands including Jamaica have also been known as the Summer Isles.

The Summer Isles are an archipelago lying in the mouth of Loch Broom, in the Highland region of Scotland. They are part of a National Scenic Area.

The only inhabited isle is Tanera Mor, also the largest of the islands. It is home to a salmon farm, a café and a post office, which has operated its own local post and printed its own stamps since 1970. The island has no roads and the only recognisable path goes around the Anchorage, the sheltered bay on the east side of the island. Boats sail to the island from Achiltibuie.

Tanera Mor was the location for Frank Fraser Darling's book Island Years (published 1940), which describes experiences living on a remote island. The pagan-cult island of Summerisle featured in the motion picture The Wicker Man (filmed 1973) is thought by some film critics to be set in this archipelago.
