Tour Scotland travel video clip of the lighthouse on Eileach an Naoimh Island on ancestry visit to the Inner Hebrides. Eileach an Naoimh, also known as Holy Isle, is an uninhabited Scottish island. It is the southernmost of the Garvellachs archipelago and lies in the Firth of Lorne between Mull and Argyll. The name is Gaelic for " rocky place of the saint. " About 542, St. Brendan the Navigator founded a monastery on Eilach, presumed to be the island, possibly because of the combination of its isolation and good grazing. Columba is believed to have visited the island. Eileach an Naoimh may also be the burial site of Columba's mother Eithne.
