29 Amazing Townships on The Isle of Tiree

Balephuil from Ben Hynish

Whether you're on Tiree, Rum, Skye, or Mull, there are not a lot of towns and cities carpeting the landscape. Indeed, it's precisely why people come to our little island at the edge of the Inner Hebrides: to get away from it all. You'll find secluded beaches without another soul in sight. And, in the winter months, when the days and nights become a little wilder and woollier, you can admire the whole landscape in blissful solitude.

We're sparsely populated – but we're not unpopulated.

When I talk to visitors, I often talk about the remoteness of living on an island. But, contrary to expectations, Tiree's social calendar is packed, and we often meet in our fantastic community hall for dances and concerts. We're a real hive of activity. We're just not all based in one place.

As you explore the nooks and crannies of the island – discovering Tiree's hidden secrets – you'll come across the villages and settlements scattered from Kenavara to Caolas. On Tiree we call them townships. Once, they were the hubs of community life from whence the farmers, crofters, and fishermen headed out. While many of the houses are more modern, it's not uncommon to see our characteristic thick stone-walled buildings hunkering down in the land; indeed, the "pudding houses" are something we'll explore later on.

We're going to take a whirlwind tour of these townships – our homes. For Tiree is more than a holiday resort; it's a living, breathing (and thriving) Hebridean community. Sure, we're proud of our historical ruins and natural splendour. But when you visit Tiree, it's these townships you'll be staying in, and it's here the history and mystery of Tiree unfolds.

Townships on Tiree

Balemartine

A stone's throw from Soroby Bay, you'll find the township of Balemartine. By Tiree's standards, it's a relatively large settlement – it's got more than one street!

Most of the houses here are newer builds: they're thick white walls designed to protect against the fierce winds which batter the island year-round. Amongst these glistening white houses, however, you'll discover Tiree's classic "pudding houses". Here, the white mortar contrasts with the dark stone to produce our unique island aesthetic.

There are several fine examples in Balemartine, alongside Black Houses or tigh dubh in Gaelic. The name comes not from the outside but from the in. Because of the smoke, the interior would be completely black – with the fire hearth in the middle of the floor and a hole in the roof above. Inside such homes, the atmosphere was forever acrid and smoky, contributing to the island's poor health and child mortality.

By the 19th century, chimneys and fireplaces were added, and the style of painting the houses white began. These so-called white houses (or tight geal) are now the most common on the island.

Balephetrish

In the island's north is the mesmerising beach of Balephetrish. This golden arc of sand is among Tiree's most popular beaches – and you'll find windsurfers and kitesurfers braving the waves throughout the year.

Along the beach's edge is Balephetrish – the name "Bail'-Ubhaig" means Town of Wolf Bay. Strangely, this little hamlet appears in 1375 in a letter from Pope Gregory XI to the Bishop of Lismore favouring "Ayg MacPetri" as the permanent parish minister in the church at Kirkapol.

Unlike other townships, Balephetrish was never divided into crofts. Its ownership wasn't confirmed until after the First World War when it was allocated to ex-soldiers using a "Club System".

Today, it's home to a few notable Guest Houses and the island's very own haulage company.

Balephuil

Balephuil is one of the smaller settlements on Tiree, best known for its stunning beach. However, it does have several notable geographic features. Balephuil sits between the Loch a' Phuill and Ben Hynish, the biggest loch and hill. In fact, the road to the "Golf Ball" – a major radar station – passes through Balephuil as it winds its way to the summit of Ben Hynish.

Perhaps, best of all, the Isle of Tiree Distillery is based in the township. Historically, Tiree was famed for its distilleries: having both the grain, peat, and stream water for its production. Yet, after The Duke ground the practice out, the island went into a 217-year hiatus.

With a re-established distilling company, the island is returning to its distilling roots, producing a fabulous Tiree Gin made with machair botanicals and working towards a 100% Tiree grain whisky in the future.

Balevullin

By far one of the most popular beaches in Tiree, Balevullin township overlooks this little strip of sunshine: it's a surfer's paradise. The houses sat upon the hillside, boast spectacular views across the beach towards the silvery surf and the Atlantic beyond. In fact, many of these are holiday homes, specifically kitted out with surfers in mind – wet room and all.

Its name, however, means village of the mill (Baile a'Mhuilinn) – a reference to a long-past time before the mill at Cornaig was built in the early 1800s.

With optimal surfing conditions and glorious golden sands, it's a common location for the Tiree Wave Classic: Tiree's premier windsurfing event. Running in October of every year, you'll see windsurfers smashing through the surf as it's at its most tempestuous. Indeed, throughout the year, you'll find kitesurfing, kayaking, cliff jumping, windsurfing, surfing, and even sand yachting along the beach.

Balinoe

Balinoe is little more than a scattering of homes – and a few very picturesque pudding houses – northeast of Loch a' Phuil. It's best-known for the Tiree campsite – the only one on the island! It's therefore jam-packed, particularly in the summer months.

You'll find plenty of space to pitch your tent (approx. 20 pitches), comfortable (and dry) camping pods, and the bothy. Bothies are a sort of "hut" with beds and warmth – you find them dotted all over Scotland, and they're a lifeline for campers and hikers looking for a dry night.

Finally, there's "Skerry View", a self-catering house that sleeps up to 8 people. It also has its own private garden; you can eat and cook outside during Tiree's sunny summer months.

Tiree Glass is just up the road from the campsite – a kiln and studio specialising in creating beautiful art from recycled glass.

Barrapol

Barrapol lies on the other side of Loch a' Phuil to Balinoe. It's a small township with a special secret – amongst the newer white houses is a handful of original marram grass-thatched houses – authentic Black Houses. They're the epitome of cosy. With their protruding stalwart walls and the pebbles or brick holding the thatch flat: it's a window into the Hebridean life of ages past.

One of these Black Houses is known as the "Drover's Cottage". An Iodhlann – Tiree's historical centre – contains a picture of the house from 1920, when it was known as Morven House, because the then-owner, Neil MacKinnon, came from Morven.

It's become a popular architectural wonder since.

Baugh

The crofting township of Baugh lies on the headland between Gott Bay and Crossapol Bay. Though it's a small township, it's a key location on the island. First, it's the site of several cottages and houses: each with a magnificent view south across the sea to Mull and Iona. It's also where the island's doctor is based – once the home of a beloved Tiresian: Dr Alexander Buchanan.

Dr Buchanan lived at Baugh House, and was much respected and admired on the island. He was the island's first doctor, serving from 1860 until he died in 1911. It's said his favourite remedy was water from An Fhaodhail – a small local stream – which he'd prescribe in a small brown glass bottle. Indeed, the name Baugh (pronounced "bag") is probably Norse in origin, meaning creek.

A monument was built in his honour following his death, overlooking the sea and island. Its inscription reads: "Medical Officer and Loved and Valued Friend of the Islanders". It's a beautiful memorial – and the high point of Baugh.

Baugh is also home to Tyrii Pottery, producing stunning handmade pottery, from earrings to casserole dishes. There's nothing they can't craft out of clay.

Caolas

Caolas is one of the easternmost townships on Tiree. There, you can see across Gunna Sound to the neighbouring Isle of Coll. The waters are crystal clear – a deep aquamarine; it's not uncommon to spot pods of Basking Sharks hoovering up the plankton in the rich seas between the islands.

With a beautiful expanse of white sands, Caolas is a popular village with holidaymakers – and there are plenty of self-catering cottages available throughout the year.

Just up the road, you'll find Dot Sim Jewellery Studio. Inspired by the rock pools, windswept beaches, and stormy seas of nearby Caolas, the jewellery has a distinctly natural, handcrafted feel.

Caolas is among the oldest parts of the island. You'll find Dùn Mòr a' Chaolais – an Iron Age broch – a short walk from the township. It was built around 1,400 years ago as a defensive structure, with excellent views of the surrounding seas and landscapes. It's a testament to the island's long and storied history – and the ruins remain to this day.

Cornaigbeg and Cornaigmore

The townships of Cornaigbeg and Cornaigmore are almost one and the same. Situated in the north of the island, not far from Balephetrish Beach, these two settlements are named for the island's most famous export: corn or grain.

Indeed, the local landmark is the Old Mill, constructed in 1803 at the behest of the 5th Duke of Argyll. Previously, locals used laborious horizontal mills or hand mills to produce flour. Using the stream from nearby Loch Bhasapol, the wheel turned uninterrupted for over a century until 1945.

However, after the Boyd family took over the property in 2006, the wheel was painstakingly restored to its original condition. You can still see it trundling along much as it ever did.

The area wasn't always so peaceful. According to Reverend J.G. Campbell, minister of Tiree from 1861 to 1891, the "Battle of the Sheaves" took place between the Norse invaders and the men of Tiree nearby. Armed with nothing but sheaves of corn, the Tiree men fought them off, pelting them with grain. Only a few of the marauders escaped to their boats, the bodies of the fallen comrades abandoned in the fields.

Other – less dramatic tales – tell of "Fionn", who used the sheaves to hold the invaders at bay while another ran off to get their weapons. It was then the Norsemen were driven back to the shore – never to return again.

Head to Tiree today, and you won't find Vikings but schoolchildren. Cornaig Higher Grade School first opened in 1876, being replaced by its current building in 1936. It serves children from all over the island.

Crossapol

Visit Tiree by air, and Crosspol is the first settlement you'll pass through; it's where the airport is based. You'll find several businesses based in the township, including Tiree Community Business, BauenArt, The Cobbled Cow, Tiree Community Development Trust, the Post Office, and the Rural Centre.

The latter, in particular, is essential to island life. Hosting the island's Cattle Mart, library, and public broadband Internet access, it's something of a local hub. It also features several fun attractions for children, including the Wee Township and an Indoor Play Area.

An Talla – Tiree's community centre – is found in Crossapol; it's the beating heart of the island's cultural life. We meet here for Ceilidhs, dances, public meetings, concerts, and more. The Tiree Music Festival is held in the fields behind the community hall annually. Founded in 2010 by musicians from the local band Skerryvore, it's attended by more than 1,500 people, winning numerous awards from the Scottish tourism industry. It's a major highlight in the island's calendar.

Gott

North of Scarinish is the tiny township of Gott. It's where Tiree's biggest beach – Gott Bay – derives its name. Indeed, it's somewhat overshadowed by its watery namesake; it's mostly known locally for the recycling centre – not the most romantic of ties.

But, when the beach is a beautiful expanse of more than two miles of sand, you'd be forgiven for not caring. Popular with windsurfers and kitesurfers, Gott Bay boasts some of the best waves on the island, which come charging towards the shore.

It's also supposed to be the location where St Columba – Scotland's most famous cleric – arrived. Look for the Rock of Mallachdaig (Cursed One) at the Gott end of the beach. It was here St Columba tied his coracle. However, when he returned, his coracle was adrift. Annoyed, St Columba cursed the rock, ordaining that nothing should grow upon it; and so, it has even been.

Heanish

Between Scarinish and Baugh is Heanish. It's a small settlement, with views across the sweeping machair and far out to sea. On a clear day, you can see Iona and Mull – and even Colonsay and Islay – to the south.

Being only a short drive from Scarinish, it's close to all the island's key amenities – supermarket, shops, ferry, etc. – and is a popular area for holiday cottages. However, much of the surrounding land is dedicated to crofting. You'll notice a few pudding houses among the scattered cottages – so keep your eyes peeled if you're driving by.

Heylipol

Heylipol is close to the island's centre – it's why the island's primary church was built there. Constructed in 1906, it is considered to resemble the Iona Abbey – which Tiree supplied with grain during the Middle Ages. The first church at Heylipol was built sometime in the mid-19th century – as the prior church in Scarinish was too far from much of the congregation.

But the church's construction was not well-built. By 1890 the roof and gallery were unsafe; even after repairs, the roof continued to leak and was "in an advanced state of decay". After being demolished, it was replaced with the current, studier church. Today, the church boasts a small dedicated congregation.

Elsewhere in Heylipol is the shop "Chocolate and Charms". It produces handmade chocolates and handcrafted jewellery made by artisans on the island. There's also a café of sorts, where you can enjoy coffee, tea, cakes, and biscuits, alongside a warm welcome: ideal for grabbing an ice cream on the way to the beach.

Established in 2005, Chocolate and Charms is popular throughout the island – who doesn't like chocolate?

Hough

Hough is a township living in the shadow of Tiree's second-tallest hill: the craggy Ben Hough (119 metres). In fact, despite the appearance of a single peak, Ben Hough actually has a sister peak called Ben Mhurstat (116 metres) with a steep pass between, known locally as Bealach na Beinne.

Clamber to the top, and you'll have spectacular panoramic views of the fertile machair croft lands below and on the horizon, the islands of Rum, Mull, Coll, and Iona. There are also the dilapidated remnants of a Second World War radar station at the summit.

Behind Ben Hough is the eponymous Hough Bay. It's much less visited than nearby beaches, and you'll often have the entire expanse to yourself. But with a mountain to manoeuvre around first, you better bring your walking boots.

Hynish

Hynish holds a special place in Hebridean – and Tiree – history. Not only does it share its name with Ben Hynish, the tallest point on the island, but it's also where the Hynish Centre is located: a charming museum dedicated to exploring the Hebridean past.

The museum comprises the restored stores, Old Smith, the Cottage, the Barracks and Old Stables, the Cowshed, Upper Square, and the Harbour. There's also the Signal Tower, which hints at the original purpose of the township.

After several shipwrecks in the treacherous waters around Tiree, it was decided a lighthouse would be built at Skerryvore – a tiny crag of rock, 11 miles to the south. It wasn't just any lighthouse; it was the tallest in all of Scotland, described by Robert Louis Stevenson as "the noblest of all extant deep-sea lights".

In Hynish, the colossal granite blocks were carved by an army of 80 stonemasons. They lived and worked in the cottages and buildings still existing today. Upon completion, the Signal Tower was the only communication between the lighthouse and the lonely keeper and his family, which used flags or semaphores to send messages back and forth.

Kenovay

Once upon a time, Kenovay was the largest township on the island. But, over the years, parts were reallocated to Balephetrish and Crossapol, with Kenovay becoming a shadow of its former self. It's situated just north of the airport, in the middle of the island, where the narrow eastern portion joins the bulky west.

It's said it once was home to the largest fort on the island and the general armoury – in antiquity. It was here the Tiree men ran to fetch their weapons when fending off the Norse. After the fort was demolished, a long stone dyke was built from Kenovay gate to Crossapol shore.

Kenovay is a mostly crofting dominated township, aside from Fiona's Craft Shop. She sells the goods of Tiree's notable artisan and showcases local artwork, both professional and amateur.

Kilkenneth

Kilkenneth lies a short distance from one of Tiree's most popular beaches: the Maze. The township itself is mostly crofting land, known more broadly for the ruins of Kilkenneth Chapel.

Dating back to the late Middle Ages, it's named for St Kenneth, who accompanied St Columba to visit King Brude of the Picts. It's said St Kenneth lived on the Isle of Tiree for a time – perhaps where the ruins of the chapel stand today. You'll find its walls crumbling and moss-eaten today.

With its close connections to The Maze and Balevullin Beach, it's a common spot for holidaymakers to stay. There are several stunning cottages in the area, on the doorstep of all Tiree's natural wonders, from Kenavara to Ben Hough to Loch a' Phuil – and the Atlantic Coast. It's the perfect base from which to explore.

Kilmoluaig

Kilmoluaig is a township on the borders of Loch Bhasapol – a popular water sports location. There are several holiday cottages in the area, and it's only a short drive to the northern beaches of Balevullin and The Green.

Some stories of the township are a little more… otherworldly. In one tale, the locals found themselves subject to a supernatural spirit, or so they believed. Furniture would move, linen would appear in separate rooms, peat would be found amongst bedclothes and pebbles in bowls of milk, where no peats or pebbles ought to be. Such was the disturbance that the family affected moved to another home.

You'll find no such disturbance today. You will, however, find Eilean Soaps – a local health and beauty shop.

Kirkapol

Located along the edge of Gott Bay is Kirkapol – home to Tiree Lodge Hotel and Kirkapol Guest House, with their mesmerising sea views.

The name, as it sounds, comes from the Norse for church ("kirk") town ("pol"). Indeed, the converted church now forms the local guest house – and you can still see the ruins of the Chapels nearby.

When the Vikings came to Tiree, there were no chapels in Kirkapol; in fact, the Norse probably built them before they left. According to the Irish Chronicles, Columba founded a monastery on Tiree in 565 and developed the tradition of sending grain to Iona. Kirkapol became something of a holy site after a relative of Columba, St Oran, who gave his name to a nearby graveyard.

The ruins of two chapels remain nearby. The largest dates to the 14th century and was dedicated to St Columba. It's in remarkably good condition, aside from the absence of a roof. You'll find burial stones from Tiree's past on the grounds outside the chapel. See if you can discover Tiree's medieval inhabitants from the weatherworn stones.

Mannal

Between Balemartine and Hynish lies the township of Mannal. It's a coastal hamlet on the west side of Hynish Bay, comprised of white-harled cottages with black roofs. It boasts some of the best views of the island. Behind the hamlet, you can see Ben Hynish rising in the distance – with the Golf Ball clearly visible on top. In front are the sweeping views across the Hebridean seas, towards Mull and Iona, dimly visible in the distance.

Watching the sunrise is spectacular here – and there are few places with a better view of the island. Little wonder, then, that Mannal has some of the Isle of Tiree's most sought after holiday homes, including Mannal House and Derwent Cottage. Otherwise, the surrounding land is mostly used for crofting and farming.

Middleton

Middleton is a small township adjacent to Sandaig. It's primarily a crofting township with few tourism-facing businesses. Its name likely comes from its location in the middle of the west coast – between Balevullin in the north and Balephuil in the south.

Here, the machair is intensely green and arable, with sheep farming common in many of the fields.

Moss

Moss is another crofting township located in the centre of Tiree's oval westernmost portion. There are several smaller lochs – though the landscape is mostly the sweeping fertile plains of machair, dotted with white houses as far as the eye can see.

Its most notable feature is the standing stone, beyond which the low peak of Ben Hough rises in the distance. The stone stands around 1 metre high, and little is known about its origins. Few tourists pass through Moss, and it's a quiet and secluded location in which to appreciate the beautiful Machair landscape.

Ruaig

At the far eastern edge of Gott Bay is Ruaig. Like all the communities bordering the bay, it's blessed with bountiful views of the golden beach and the azure waters beyond. The name Ruaig is Norse, meaning clear bay. It's not hard to see why. When the sun's shining, you can see several of the Inner Hebridean islands dim on the horizon.

Like many of the smaller settlements, it's mostly crofting land, with a few popular holiday cottages, like The Caravan and Croft House.

Just south of Ruaig, connected to the island by a thread of sand, is the small island of Soa. It's little more than a rocky crag, but it can be reached at low tide. Just be careful not to get stuck.

Much of the land is dominated by the happy sheep, who spend their days frolicking the machair and trimming the grass – it's a thankless task. The ground around here can be quite low-lying, meaning it's often water-logged for parts of the year.

The Tiree Community Development Trust plans to build a wind turbine in Ruaig to generate energy, investing the proceeds back into the community.

Salum

Opposite Ruaig, on Tiree's northern coast, is Salum, where the island thins. The main local feature is Salum Bay, a small sheltered beach, protected by the outcropping of rock. Again, it's a wee settlement, less visited by holidaymakers and locals alike. You'll often find the beach is your own – and with relatively shallow waters, it's a brilliant spot to have a splash.

Plus, there are a lot of rocky spots; hours can be spent exploring the rock pools and crevices with young children.

The surrounding land is mostly for crofting and farmland. Like nearby Ruaig, you'll see plenty of sheep in the fields.

Sandaig

Sandaig is the westernmost community on Tiree. It's also amongst the most secluded. You'll find a stunning beach here, from which you've got a superb view of the craggy Kenavara. It's home to all manner of sea birds who nest in its towering cliffs, including shags, fulmars, kittiwakes, guillemots, razorbills peregrine falcons, and an awful lot of gulls. So, bring your binoculars and see what you can spot.

You'll also find two of Tiree's top businesses: Ceabhar Restaurant and Tiree Fitness.

Caebhar Restaurant and Bun Dubh Crafty Enviropunk Brewing is one of the few restaurants on the island: it has some of the best views. With Kenavara to the south and Ben Hough to the north, the word breathtaking doesn't quite do it justice. You'll also find beer brewed by the owner and some delicious seafood dishes.

Tiree Fitness, meanwhile, is a one-stop shop for any adventure you can possibly want. They've got bikes you can hire all year round; and it runs training camps and gym classes for islanders and visitors to keep fit and active.

The company also runs Tiree's famous Ultramarathon: a 35-mile route winding around the island's perimeter. It occurs in September every year and is extremely popular. They also run a more manageable 10k and a half-marathon.

Scarinish

Tiree doesn't have a "capital" as such; its largest settlement is Scarinish, however. If you're arriving by boat, it's Scarinish where you land – at the newly built ferry port. (Or at least, it's new by Tiree standards, being built in 1991).

You'll find the majority of services in the township, including the main Post Office, a butcher, the Co-Op, the Police and Fire Station, the Royal Bank of Scotland, and, most recently, An Iodhlann – a museum of sorts. Run by volunteers, it's tasked with collecting and archiving the island's history and holds small exhibitions showcasing key aspects of the past.

You'll also find the Scarinish hotel – one of the biggest hotels on the island – as well as Tiree Sea Tours. They take visitors out on boat trips, exploring the coastlines of the local islands. It's one of the most popular attractions on Tiree. Expect to see whales, basking sharks, dolphins, porpoises, and more as your tour the Inner Hebrides' most spectacular locations.

The harbour was first built in Scarinish in 1771 and is located in a small bay. It's here that many self-catering cottages and apartments are situated – it's commonplace to stay here when visiting. 

You might notice a strange corridor-like structure when waiting for the ferry: An Turas. Built as a shelter for the ferry, this unusual sculptural building is designed to reflect Tiree's dramatic landscape. The white walls resemble the little cottages, open to the sky above; the bridge looks down on the rock and sand below; and the glass box at the end is a panoramic spectacle of Gott Bay and the isles.

It's well worth checking out.

Vaul

Vaul is a township adjacent to Salum; Vaul Bay and Salum Bay, for instance, are separated only by a thin rocky ridge. It's most notable for being the thinnest point on the island, with Vaul Golf Club taking up most of the land. After all, it wouldn't be Scotland if there wasn't at least one golf course.

The course was established in 1911 and includes 9 holes. It's a fun course open to people of all ages and abilities. It's been a popular pastime on the island for generations – and there are many pictures of those early golfing pioneers braving the winds as they play Scotland's oldest sport.

Even older than the golf course is Dun Mor Vaul: an iron-age broch. Built around the time of Christ, it was inhabited for several hundred years. The 9.2 metres wide tower would have been an intimidating sight on the landscape, with thick stone walls to withstand the wind and rain.

There's evidence the site was inhabited even earlier – around the 5th century BC. The initial structure was a wooden hut that archaeological evidence indicates burnt down. Despite the millennia of decay, the broch is remarkably well-preserved, with the foundations and entranceways still clearly visible. The clifftop path to the site is poetically called An Gleann Dorcha, the dark glen. Indeed, the name Vaul likely means cliffs, and it was often called "Wall" in centuries past.

West Hynish

Below the peak of Ben Hynish, where the road runs into the sea, is West Hynish. It's a small township; low-lying, you can see the silvery surf lapping against the rocks by the shore. Few people have ever lived here, and it's among the most secluded and isolated parts of the island. It's the perfect location to collect one's thoughts and marvel at the natural beauty.

In fact, just a short walk along the coast is Happy Valley. Hunkered between two ridges, this verdant landscape blends into a pebbled beach known as Traigh Balbhaig. There's the imprint of an old prehistoric hillfort nearby, called Dun na Cleite. Being so rocky and secluded, it was one of the most impregnable points on the island, guarded by a series of walls.

Happy Valley was named by RAF personnel in World War II who frequented the site. You'll find your only company is cows who are content to graze quietly, enjoying the marvellous view. Across the sea, you'll spot Ben More on the Isle of Mull brooding in the distance. It's not hard to see how the personnel came upon the name – it's difficult not to be happy here.

Discover Tiree's fascinating townships

Part of our love for Tiree is the absence of urban life: it's peaceful and quiet, and tranquil. You'll find these townships much the same. But dig a little deeper, and each hides a fascinating story of eerie ghosts, renowned Saints, and industrious stonemasons. All you need to do is ask.

Indeed, even after living here for so many years, you still find a new tale beneath every stone and in every nook and cranny.

We can't wait to hear what you'll find out.
