Easdale. The Slate Isle

Easdale Island is the smallest permanently-inhabited island of the Inner Hebrides, off Scotland's west coast. Situated in the Firth of Lorn, about 15 miles south of Oban, Argyll, it covers an area of less than 10 hectares but has a permanent population of about 60, plus a similar number who own residential property and visit regularly. Many visiting residents live in other parts of Scotland but have ancestral connections going back several generations. Information taken from easdale. org
