Easdale is the smallest permanently inhabited island of the Inner Hebrides. Situated in the Firth of Lorn, about 15 miles south of Oban, it covers an area of less than 10 hectares but has a permanent population of about 60, plus a similar number who own residential property and visit regularly. Many visiting residents live in other parts of Scotland but have ancestral connections going back several generations. The Island lies about 200 metres off the Island of Seil which itself is connected to the mainland by the 200 year old Clachan Bridge, the "Bridge over the Atlantic". There is no vehicular access to the Island which is served by a small ferry able to carry 10 passengers.
