ErraidErraid is an island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, lying west of Mull (to which it is linked by a beach at low tide) and south east of Iona. The island was the birthplace of Robert Lewis Stephenson. His father ran a granite quarry on the island, while Robert wrote part of his novel Kidnapped there. It is home to a disused signal station for the lighthouse on Dhu Heartach. The Island is privately owned but they only use it in the summer. Members of the Findhorn Foundation rent out the island and people can visit for a small fee. The people on the island live in a peaceful community and everybody's support is needed for everybody to enjoy a happy stay. On the island the residents make their own candles to sell at Iona and on Mull.They farm the land and have milk and eggs and plenty of lovely vegetables.
