The island of Eorsa lies just off the West coast of the Isle of Mull in the shelter of Loch Na Keal.

Eorsa is uninhabited except for a flock of sheep which live out a largely undisturbed life.

Shepherds visit the island throughout the year weather permitting to tend to the needs of the sheep and remove the lambs.

Local on Mull will tell you that Eorsa is “heaving with vipers” (adders) but I’m not sure this is true as I have never seen one Adder in multiple visits over many years.
