Map of the UK

Beinn na Faoghla is a small, largely uninhabited island off the coast of Na h-Eileanan Siar in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. It rises to a modest, heather‑covered summit with rocky shores and coastal cliffs, offering wide views across neighbouring sounds and providing habitat for seabirds and coastal flora typical of the archipelago.

Like many of the smaller Hebridean isles it has a history of seasonal grazing and intermittent human use rather than permanent settlement, and sits within the broader Gaelic, crofting and conservation landscape of the Western Isles; today its main interest is natural history, local heritage and occasional visits by boat from nearby communities.
