The small, often uninhabited island of Eilean Ban lies off the coast of the Highland area of Scotland; its Gaelic name translates as "white island" and it typically features rocky shorelines, patches of machair and sheltered bays that attract seabirds and resting seals while offering wide views across the surrounding seas.
Like many small Scottish isles, Eilean Ban has a history of seasonal grazing and coastal use rather than permanent settlement and sits within a living crofting and fishing landscape; today it is principally valued for wildlife, scenic interest and local cultural associations, with occasional boat visits and modest conservation attention from nearby communities.
