Mingulay, located in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, is known for its rich Gaelic oral tradition, important seabird populations, and stunning sea cliffs. Abandoned in 1912 after centuries of habitation, the island is now uninhabited and owned by the National Trust for Scotland. With a mix of Celtic, Norse, and Scots influences, Mingulay's history includes early Christianity, Viking presence, and the impact of absentee landlords during the Highland Clearances. Its unique landscape, wildlife, and cultural heritage make it a fascinating destination for visitors interested in exploring Scotland's remote and storied past.
