North of Islay and south of Mull, lies the beautiful island of Colonsay with its stunning sandy beaches and linked by a tidal causeway to the tiny island of Oronsay. A Viking grave including a boat with silver burial goods was discovered at Kiloran Bay in 1882. Oronsay has the ruins of a medieval Augustinian Priory
built in 1380 on the site of an earlier church. Colonsay is the smallest island in the world with its own brewery that employs two people. The island can boast the fact that in 1993 when it was reported that the last recorded crime on the Island was treachery against the King in 1623 – a testament to life on the Island.
