About Ruaig

Ruaig lies on Tiree's western coast in the Inner Hebrides, accessible via Tiree Airport (8km away) or ferry from Oban to Scarinish, then the A3086 westward. The settlement faces the Atlantic with views across Hebridean waters, experiencing Scotland's windiest conditions but also surprisingly high sunshine hours. Notable for hosting one of Scotland's most productive wind farms, its turbines constantly spin in the relentless Atlantic gales.
