20의 작은 섬들가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Massacre Cave has a small entrance, but when you're through the narrow channel it opens out and extends back in the dark some 79 metres. You will need a torch to explore it. The cave has a gruesome past, back in 1577 a group of Macleods from Skye landed on the island in a long running feud with the Macdonalds. The entire population of the island hid in the cave for 3 days. As the Macleods sailed away they finally spotted a lookout and were able to trace his footsteps in the snow back to the cave. The Macleods built a huge fire and the smoke killed the 395 people trapped inside.

Kinloch Castle is an Edwardian mansion which was completed in 1900. The castle and island are now owned by Scottish Natural Heritage. You can visit the castle at times that coincide with ferry landings.

Built between 1897 and 1900, Kinloch Castle was the country residence of the Bulloughs who had bought the island of Rum as a shooting estate. It was used as a hostel until 2015 but now requiring significant investment for repairs, it is sadly currently closed.

At 812m this is the highest point on Rum and therefor the highest peak in the Rum Cuillin. It's a brilliant, scramble pyramidal peak standing at the head of the Cuillin ridge and offering awesome views across the island and across to Eigg. It's a tough expedition of a run but very satisfying especially if you camp or stay at the bothy and make it a two day adventure.

The Isle of Eigg Shop is a family run grocery shop by the pier on Eigg. They sell a large range of food and supplies to sort you out for an Eigg adventure. Open daily through the summer and 5 days a week over winter (closed on Tue & Sun).

The highest point on Eigg at 393m climbing An Sgùrr offers incredible views of the island and neighbouring Rum. The mountain was formed when a volcano erupted, filling the local valley with lava. This cooled and solidified, over time the softer surrounding rock eroded away leaving An Sgùrr as an inverted valley.

The Isle of Skye isn’t the only Scottish island with a Cuillin ridge. The extraordinary island of Rum has its own alternative version – and Askival is its crown, the highest and most satisfying peak of the Rum Cuillin. The majestic pyramidal peak is the highlight of this classic Inner Hebrides ridge traverse.
