Comment posted So which are our 25 inhabited islands? by Lowry.
What about Campbeltown? Most folk seem to think of it as an island because its so far away from anywhere else!

- SNP meeting on Monday may be testing time for mega-coalition proposal
‘Buffoon’ – as suggested by Simon I believe – seems to fit both personae. - First Minister’s choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
Agreed – I often find that some folk muddle UKIP with the BNP. - First Minister’s choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
However, sometimes they do go a bit wonky – I’ve seen them add several at one time and then on a couple of occasions they have subtracted ticks. It did happen last night. To be honest, I only see it as a bit of fun so don’t feel it’s anything to get worked up about. - James Robb, as the cordite clears
So, you condone a protest that required the police to protect someone; that person had to stay in a place of safety until a police van could provide transport; a taxi driver was unable to provide transport because of potential damage to his vehicle; and where two people were arrested. What a strange person you are! - Walsh to lead all but Lib Dems, Conservatives and George Freeman
Hey ho – off we go. Feet up and pass the popcorn please.

Shh! Don’t tell the other Local Authorities that as ABC claims SINA for Seil. Oops, too late.

What about Innis Trynich on Loch Awe? There is at least one house on it, but…
Forgot about Oronsay AND DAVAAR (Shame); didn’t know Erraid and Gometra were inhabited – now off to find out where Danna is and to check if Inchtavannach is in Loch Lomond.
And Inchmurran – or is that outwith Argyll and Bute?
Press piece said single inhabitant of Innis Chonan recently stopped living there. Is this incorrect?

I think that Eilean da Mheinn, Crinan Harbour, is inhabited all year round.

Eilan Loain (known to some as ‘treasure island’), Loch Sween, certainly has a very substantial house – but might not be inhabited all year.

What is an island? In his excellent & comprehensive book “The Scottish Islands” Hamish Haswell-Smith arrived at a definition after much consideration: “An island is a piece of land or group of pieces of land which is entirely surrounded by sea water at Lowest Astronomical Tide and to which there is no permanent means of dry access.” For freshwater lochs knock out the tidal & seawater bits. So, Seil is not an island, nor are Danna or Davaar. Gometra is attached to Ulva, Oronsay to Colonsay etc etc. Is a revision of the list in order?

Gometra has been inhabited for decades. Not only inhabited but well farmed by the Munros.

Old misery before my time – aye that’ll be right.
Lets ne honest here – Geo Freeman provides the list of the 25. Then someone suggests that because Hasmish double-barrelled name defines an island differently form others this ‘definition’ suggests that some islands are actually no longer islands!! This provokes even more suggestions/counter suggestions from the usual suspect eg “it has a bridge”/or “has a substantial house but might not be inhabiited all year”.
Ye gods – talk about the number of angels that can dance on the head of apin!!! Get a life you numpties.
Oh, and have a nice day

If Argyll was in France Kintyre would be a textbook example of a ‘presqu’ile’ – but still not an island, even if a canal were to be dug at Tarbert.
