Erbusaig (Scottish Gaelic: Earbarsaig) is a small remote township, situated on Erbusaig Bay near Kyle of Lochalsh, Scottish Highlands[1] and is in the council area of Highland.[2] In the language of Gaelic, the village is named after Erb, a Viking who landed in the Bay. Erbusaig was initially a fishing village, but became cut off from the shore when the railway was extended to Kyle of Lochalsh in 1897.[3]
