Bac Beag is a Scottish island, part of the Treshnish Isles in the Inner Hebrides.

Origin of name

The Gaelic name has several possible interpretations. Beag simply means small (as opposed to Bac Mòr, its larger sister), but Bac can mean a "bank", or also an "obstacle" or "hindrance".

Geography

Lying south of Lunga with its sister island of Bac Mor, it forms the south western end of the island chain. In contrast to Bac Mòr, Bac Beag is low-lying and fairly flat. It is of volcanic origin.

Wildlife

Like the other Treshnish Isles, Bac Beag is uninhabited and is owned by a charity, The Hebridean Trust. The Treshnish Isles are designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Protection Area due to their importance for breeding seabirds.
