| It
is very much a crofting, knitting and lobster fishing community
and has a lot of machair land and sand dunes.
A favourite holiday spot
of HRH the Prince of Wales, the island is approximately 3
miles long and 1½ miles wide.

The
population mainly reside on the eastern side of the island,
numbering about 140.
Unusually, the island does
not have peat but is green and fertile with outstanding beaches.
Along with the new community
centre, there is a post office, shop and a minibus service.
