Island 249 - Eilean Buidhe, Craobh Haven, Argyll

Eilean Buidhe has formed part of the eastern side of the harbour at Craobh Haven since 1983 when a stone causeway was built out to it.  It is more wooded than the 2 islands on the other side of the harbour.  There is a house on the island and 3 self-catering log built lodges known as Loch Shuna Lodges.  The owner of the house and the lodges is Mr Falcon Scott, grandson of Captain Robert Falcon Scott of Antarctica.

The causeway is wider than the ones out to Fraoch Eilean and Eilean an Duin and it is wide enough to drive along.  The island is about 300 metres long by 200 metres wide.
