Does anyone know why the islands are so called? Is it because of the vitrified fort on Eilean Buidhe? Rojomoke 19:07, 11 December 2006 (UTC)


I have alwasy personally believed (perhaps I've read it somewhere) it is to do with lichen on the rocks. At low tide the islands appear entirely black around the waterline before giving way to yellow lichen, then natural rock then grass.


They really are bonnie islands.
