Island 82 - Lunga, Treshnish Isles, Inner Hebrides

The Treshnish Isles are an archipelago of islands and rocks lying to the west of Mull and to the east of Coll and Tiree. Lunga is the largest of the Treshnish Isles, all of which are now uninhabited. Lunga was last inhabited in 1857.  I spent a couple of hours on Lunga in May 2008.  There were hundreds of puffins, razorbills and guillemots on the island.
