Gillemhor

Gillemhor is a small, uninhabited island located off the west coast of Scotland, within the Inner Hebrides. It is situated in the Argyll and Bute council area. The island is characterized by its rugged terrain, with a coastline of rocky shores and small coves. Vegetation on Gillemhor is sparse, consisting mainly of grasses, heather, and hardy coastal plants adapted to the exposed environment.

The island's geological composition is primarily metamorphic rock, typical of the Hebridean region. Due to its remote location and lack of fresh water sources, Gillemhor has never supported a permanent human settlement. Historically, it may have been used by local fishermen for temporary shelter or as a navigational landmark. Birdlife is present, with seabirds nesting on the cliffs during the breeding season. The surrounding waters are known for their rich marine ecosystems, supporting various species of fish and marine mammals. Access to Gillemhor is typically by private boat, and it remains a largely untouched natural reserve.
