The Small Isles are a group of islands considered part of the British Isles, lying in the Inner Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland. The islands lie south of Skye and north of Mull. They are part of the Highland district, and were traditionally part of Inverness-shire.
The largest of the Small Isles is Rum, with an area of 105kmē. The other three main islands are Eigg, Muck and Canna. Soay, off Skye, is occasionally included as one of the isles.
Smaller islands surrounding the main four include Sanday, Horse Island, and the extremely small isles of Oigh-Sgeir, Garbh Sgeir, Humla, Eilean Chathastail, Dubh Sgeir and Eagamol.
