About Eilean Righ
This is absolutely one for keen naturalists and patient photographers. If your kids spend longer than twenty minutes spotting nothing through binoculars, they'll start complaining. But for walkers who appreciate a proper Scottish reserve without the tourist crush of more famous spots, it's proper good. The island's small enough that you won't be tramping for hours - more a focused couple of hours of poking about.
Timing matters. Spring and autumn bring the migrant birds. Summer's pleasant if you can tolerate midges. Winter can be bleak, but also wonderfully quiet. Check with local guides or the visitor centre in Lochgilphead about boat access before you head out - arrangements aren't always straightforward and depend on tides and weather.
If you're based at The Pod Over By nearby, this slots in as a proper day excursion from your accommodation. It's the sort of outing that justifies staying in Argyll rather than just passing through.
