Eilean Shona is a privately owned island of some 2000 acres set at the entrance of Loch Moidart, just off Ardnamurchan peninsula. It is two and a half miles long by one and a half wide. Though only a short boat ride from the mainland this haven of peace and tranquillity offers you a completely different world. There are no cars or shops, no television and no flight paths. The post and newspapers do come but only if you want them. The house has a modest facade concealing a wealth of entertaining and living space; a dining room, a large but intimate sitting room, a discreet billiards room and a children's playroom. It is decorated and furnished in style with comfort and ease as its keynotes. One of its features is the artwork, bought and commissioned by the owners, many of which were created on the island. The house is surrounded by a large informal garden that falls towards the sea. The rhododendron and azaleas provide an explosion of colour in late spring, the splendid trees interest all year round. The house is girdled by a remarkable pinetum: 200 acres of Bhutanese pines, Redwoods, Scots pine and Yellowwoods.
