Eighter Island (Irish: An tÍochtar) is a small island and a townland[2] off the coast of County Donegal, Ireland. The closest town on the mainland is Burtonport.

Geography

The island is located around one km east of Arranmore and North-West of Inishcoo, another small island divided by narrow channels from Rutland and the mainland. A footbridge connects the two islets, both known for pleasant sandbeaches.[3] The inner part of Eighter Island is mainly rocky and the most convenient landing sites are in the southern part of it.[4]

History

A small community used to live on Eighter Island in the first part of the 20th century,[5][6] but today the island is uninhabited. Some of the old houses are used as holiday homes, mostly concentrated in the south-eastern part of the island.[4]
