Eilean Dubh, Argyllshire

(Redirected from Eilean Dubh, Kyles of Bute)
Eilean Dubh is sometimes known as Glen Caladh Island is situated just off the Cowal peninsula of Argyllshire in the Kyles of Bute. The island is around 300 yards along its longest length and rises to a height of 62 ft above sea level. It is almost entirely covered by woodland.
Although Eilean Dubh is uninhabited, the island's owners, the Ingham Clarks, have their family graveyard here. There is also a light to aid navigation at the northern tip of the island.
The island forms the idyllic, "An Caladh/An Cala" (Gaelic for "harbour") on the Cowal coastline that was used as a location in BBC television's dramatisation of the Para Handy tales.
Eilean Dearg lies to the north and the Burnt Islands lie just to the east.
