Members of the Group[edit]

There will soon be an article about Lunga (north of Scarba) which I will add to this group. Although there does not seem to be a clear definition of its membership, the BBC at least BBC Islandblogging seem sure Lunga is included. On the other hand, Siel Island's website [1] states 'the Isle of Seil, Easdale Island, the Isle of Luing and Belnahua are the Slate Islands' but the Heritage Trust [2] is more accommodating, if somewhat vague. W. H Murray's The Hebrides is unhelpful, declining a definition and outrageously claiming that 'Seil and Luing, like Kerrera and Lismore .. are not topographically part of the Hebridean archipelago'. He is more forthcoming in The Companion Guide to the West Highlands of Scotland but only goes so far as to say: 'Seil and Luing, Shuna, Torsa, Belnahua and many others are collectively known as the Slate Islands.'
