From the Wikipedia article
Scarba (Scottish Gaelic: Sgarba) is an island, in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, just north of the much larger island of Jura. The island has not been permanently inhabited since the 1960s. Until his death in 2013 it was owned by Richard Hill, 7th Baron Sandys; its owner now is Shane Cadzow who farms Luing cattle on the nearby island of Luing and grazes some of the cattle on Scarba. Kilmory Lodge is available for rental as holiday accommodation, and is used seasonally as a shooting lodge, the island having a flourishing herd of red deer. The island's name is from the Norse and may mean "sharp, stony, hilly terrain" or "cormorant island".
