Isle of Fladda

The largest of the Slate Islands but the least (geographically) hospitable, the island is dominated by the lighthouse built by David and Thomas Stevenson in 1860.
The lighthouse is a white conical tower with a black lantern. Fladda sits between Belnahua and Luing in the Sound of Luing, and is home to a large colony of terns.

The first recorded history that we could source of Fladda shows that it was owned by John Stevenson in 1858. Stevenson was a whiskey distiller in Oban. The island was originally spelt 'Phladda' but was changed by the Northern Lighthouse Board at the turn of the century because there is another island with a lighthouse on it called Phladda in the Firth of Clyde.
