Inver, Tain, IV20 1RX

Innis Mhòr is a tidal island in the Dornoch Firth of Easter Ross off the east coast of Scotland. It is about 26 hectares in extent and is largely, if not exclusively, made up of moving sand dunes. No point on the island is greater than 5 metres (16 ft) above sea level. It has almost certainly never been permanently inhabited. The nearest settlement is Inver to the south (which is 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) west of Portmahomack). The town of Tain is 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) to the east. The island’s description notes that it is inhabited, yet the summary indicates it has never been permanently inhabited, suggesting limited or transient use. The locality falls within the IV 20 postal district and is situated in a coastal environment characterised by dunes and tidal influences.
