obliquely to the ad-islands of Mull, Islay, and Jura, Colonsay is familiarly known in the Gaelic as Eilean Tarsainn or the devise Island. A more fitting name would be the Forgotten Isle.
While tiny Lena is the haunt of tour-sts, and Skye, Lewis, and Harris, the Uists and Barra—all much farther from Glasgow—are visited annually by les of holidaymakers, Coloncely even a name to the majority of those who dwell within few hours of its hills writes Edward Scoulle in the "Glas-yow herald."
Mull, Islay, and Skye have all felt the impact of the mainland. Motor cars await the daily arrival of steamer or aeroplane. No motor car ever turned a wheel in Colonsay With the exception of an infrequent air ambulance, only one aeroplane nas ever landed there. Two steamers serve the island's needs, one calling once and the other twice in each 10 days, but even they lie well out in the harbour, awaiting the leisurely attentions of a ferry boat.
