The Eileans




The name is an anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic , ''eilean'' meaning "Island". Unusually for the west coast of Scotland, the two islands appear to have no individual names of their own and as such are always referred to collectively.

Three smaller rocks, the Leug, the Spoig (Gaelic: ' Paw ') and the Clach (Gaelic: 'stone') lie to the west.
