Ellenabeich (Scottish Gaelic: Eilean nam Beitheach, meaning "island of the birchwoods.
"[1]) is a small village on the isle of Seil (Scottish Gaelic: Saoil) – an island on the east side of the Firth of Lorn, 7 miles (11 km) southwest of Oban, in Scotland.
It is a former slate-mining village and is where parts of Ring of Bright Water were filmed.
The island was mined out of existence and its name is now the current Scottish Gaelic name of the village.
The former slate works' manager's house was a hotel for a number of years, trading as the Easdale Inn; this has now been converted back into a private residence.
