Isle of Tiree is also known as Tir-Iodh in Gaelic, which simply means the land of corn. The island is 10 miles long and 4 miles wide and is part of the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. It has a population of just 800 people. It is the perfect place to get away from all the hassle and bustle of chaotic city life. Isle of Mull is its neighbor in the west part, and Coll to its south. The isle boasts of it being one of the sunniest places in Great Britain due to its geographical location. It also takes pride in the many wonderful white sand beaches and dunes, the largest being Gott Bay. There are quite a small amount of trees because of heavy wind. And the Lewisan gneiss is said to be 2900 million years old. In spring and summer displays a colorful scenario of beautiful flowers. It surely will take your breath away.
