I would describe the Islands of the lower Firth of Clyde as forming part of the Inner Hebrides, yet no mention is made of them here, nor of the Inner Hebrides at that article. What do other think? Perhaps best to comment at the Talk item I started over there, to avoid a parallel strand:
-- Mais oui! 22:54, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
A question was raised re the inclusion of The Summer Isles and other small islands north of Skye in the Inner Hebrides category. Encylopedia Britannica (1978) says Hebrides - group of islands of the west coast of Scotland extending in an arc between 55.35 and 58.30 N and 5.26 and 8.40 W.” This includes Gigha, St.Kilda and everything up to Cape Wrath – although not for some reason, North Rona. The Collins Encyclopaedia of Scotland describes the Inner Hebrides as lying 'east of the Minch'. It’s not unequivocal, but as neither exclude the Summer Isles etc. See also Talk:Islands of the Clyde.

I know a girl named Skye.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.229.233.34 ( talk) 02:23, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
I have created a Template:Infobox Scottish island for use with Scottish islands which is based on the existing Template:Infobox Scotland place but which contains parameters which may be more useful for smaller islands which don't have their own police force or Lord Lieutenant. Comments are welcome on the associated talk page.
I have created it as a template for all Scottish islands and used an image of a longboat next to the Saltire to emphasise the difference with the Scotland place Template. The said image is called Image:McdonaldBoat.jpg. Before ancient foes of Clan Donald complain, I am assured by User:Calgacus that the proper name for this image is a 'Lymphad' and that its was actually purloined from the Russian wikipedia. He also points out that the same image appears for example at the bottom of Image:Norse-Gael_Warrior.PNG [2] and the Sinclair Orkney arms [3] [4] which suggests to me that the lymphad may be appropriate for all our isles whether they have a primarily Celtic or primarily Norse history. This note has been copied in various places including Talk:Orkney Talk:Shetland Talk:Hebrides Talk:Islands of the Clyde etc.
An example of the template may be found at: Flannan Isles
There is space for references. Groupings and population information are available at List of islands of Scotland the latter being based on the 2001 census. Area measurements for the 162 islands of 100 acres or more in size are available in Haswell-Smith, Hamish. (2004) The Scottish Islands. Edinburgh. Canongate. I'd be happy to pass the relevant numbers on if needed, although I doubt I am going to get around to listing all 162. There is more on this subject at Template talk:Infobox Scottish island.

Beautifully illustrated, thoroughly researched and well written. Broad in coverage with a substantial amount of historical detail also. Good referencing. Neutral and stable. Passed.

Eilean Donan isnt in the hebrides, its on the mainland. Why is there a picture of it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.161.97.237 ( talk) 18:21, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
Agreed, and since this has had no reply in 5 years, I'm removing it. Might as well have a picture of Edinburgh Castle.
