Nope, it was this one.

Gruinard Island.
There's a campsite just outside Laide overlooking the island and when we were there in 1989 you could see the warning signs! There was also sheep on it as part of the testing that decontamination carried out in the mid 80's had worked. The signs came down the year after we were there and the island was sold back to the heirs of the owner from who it was requisitioned during the war.
There was also a pub about 1/2 mile walk along the road and at that time Scottish licencing laws were complex to say the least so when we went in we asked "when do you close"? And, true story, "ach aboot October" was the reply.

ps there's a good camping area at Mellon Udrigle that operates on an honesty box system.

No. Wasn't that gruinard?

oops. Didn't see post above.

Tricky one; can you take an island to all sorts of different places?? Nah! MH for me every time.

It would be somewhere secure to store your motorhome, if you buy it we will all chip in for a one way ferry to get you there
