Eilean Feòir is a small uninhabited tidal island located at the south east end of Loch na Keal, close to the hamlet of Knock on the western side of the Isle of Mull. The name means "grass island" in Gaelic, which appropriate, as it is covered in grass. There are also a few thistles and a number of yellow iris plants, which were in flower when I visited in mid June 2021. It is easily accessible from Mull across a rocky beach at low tide.
