Balaruminmore

united kingdom

Balaruminmore lies on Colonsay, one of Scotland's most remote inhabited islands, accessible only by CalMac ferry from Oban (2 hours 20 minutes) to Scalasaig port, then 4km by single-track road through Upper Kilchattan. The settlement's name derives from Gaelic "Baile ar Ruigh Mòr," meaning "township of the big shieling," referring to ancient summer cattle grazing grounds.
