Tanera Mòr
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tanera Mòr (Scottish Gaelic: Tannara Mòr) is a sporadically inhabited island in Loch Broom in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, the largest of the Summer Isles. It was the last permanently inhabited island in that group. Tanera Mòr has issued its own postage stamps[3] and was the location of Frank Fraser Darling's book Island Years. In 2014, it was reported that it had been sold to the millionaire Ian Wace, whose plans were to develop it as a holiday destination.[3]
