Tiree - Tir an Eorna (Land of Corn) in Gaelic, is the outermost island of the Inner Hebrides, Scotland, and holds the U.K. sunshine record.  Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the western and northern shores and the sea of the Hebrides on the eastern and southern, it has beautiful white, sandy beaches with clear, clean waters that are rich in marine life, with Minke whales seen regularly in the summer. Island birdlife includes over 150 pairs of  breeding Corncrake. June and early July is the best time to see the carpets of orchids and iris beds in full bloom, and the house is just a few hundred yards from The Reef, a vast tract of unspoilt grassland, which is an important breeding ground for wading birds, managed by the RSPB.                    

The house is situated just over a mile west of Scarinish (for ferry, harbour, shops and bank), and stands about twenty yards from the sea, with a sandy beach some two miles long, just a quarter of a mile away.
