The Summer Isles are an archipelago off the coast of Ross and Cromarty in the northwest Highlands of Scotland. The largest island, Tanera Mòr, is occasionally inhabited. Since 2014 the Summer Isles have been owned by the financier Ian Wace, who intends to build a holiday resort, but to date nothing's come of this.
In summer, non-landing boat trips are operated by Shearwater Cruises from Ullapool and Summer Isles Sea Tours from Badentarbet pier in Achiltibuie.
