Is this Scotland’s most unique Island? 🌊⛰️

This tiny island near Oban was sculpted by slate mining with several still pools, some 80 to 90 metres deep. Although being the smallest inhabited Island on the Inner Hebrides with 60 residents, it is home to the ICONIC and the charming family-owned pub .
