Old travel Blog photograph of houses and cottages in Baugh, Isle of Tiree located South West Of Coll which is West of Isle Of Mull, Scotland. To the west of Scarinish lie the spread out hamlets of Heanish and Baugh. Beyond these the coast opens out onto yet another sweeping beach of brilliant white sandy beaches of Traigh Bhagh. Baugh has traditionally been the home of Tiree's doctor and on a small hill there is a monument to Dr Buchanan. The island Of Tiree is highly fertile, and crofting, alongside tourism, and fishing are the main sources of employment for the islanders. Tiree, along with Colonsay, enjoys a relatively high number of total hours of sunshine during the late spring and early summer compared to the average for the United Kingdom. Tiree is a popular windsurfing venue and is a proposed location for an offshore wind farm. Tiree is sometimes referred to as " Hawaii of the North. "
