The Island

	The Isle of Raasay, one of the Inner Hebrides is located between the Isle of Skye and Applecross on the Scottish mainland of Wester Ross. Because of its geography Raasay is an excellent location for viewing the Cullins of Skye and the Torridon mountains.


	There is very varied and interesting geology on Raasay. In the early twentieth century the island had its own iron mine, the historical archaeological evidence of which can still be seen.




	Raasay is ideally suited to those with a love of the outdoors; there are excellent walks and trails where one can experience the peace and tranquility of the island.




		You are never far from the sea and its abundant wild life when walking on Raasay; coastal exploration can be rewarding with sightings of otters and seals along with a variety of sea birds.


	From the top of Dun Cann, the highest point of Raasay, there are spectacular views of the Cullins of Skye and the Toridon Hills.


	A more recent history is Calum’s Road; one mans determination to save his native community from depopulation.
