Muldoanich

About

Muldoanich is an uninhabited island in the Bishop's Isles at the southern extremity of the larger island chain of the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. It is 78 hectares (190 acres) in area and rises to a maximum height of 153 metres (502 ft) at the peak of Cruachan na h-àin ("midday hill").

Muldoanich is about 4 kilometres (2+1⁄2 mi) southeast of Castlebay, the main port on the island of Barra. It is a prominent landmark for the approaching ferry and other craft and has no level ground. There are no census records, but the southern headland of Vanish (meaning "headland of the house" or "sacred place" in Gaelic) may indicate habitation at some time in the past.
