Eilean Mòr ("Big Isle") is one of the MacCormaig Isles situated near the entrance to Loch Sween in the Sound of Jura, Scotland. Eilean Mòr is the largest of the MacCormaig Islands, and is a breeding ground for seabirds.〔Rob Humphreys, Donald Reid (2002), ''The Rough Guide to Scotland'', page 416〕 The island is the legendary retreat of the 7th-century Saint Cormac.〔 It has three ancient monuments on it in the care of Historic Scotland: a cave, a chapel and a cross.〔(Eilean Mor: St Cormac's Chapel ), Historic Scotland, accessed 13 May 2014〕 The island was bequeathed to the Scottish National Party in 1978, and it has been managed since 2000 by a charitable trust.〔(The Eilean Mór MacCormick Trust ), accessed 13 May 2014〕 ==St Cormac's Cave== St Cormac's Cave is on the south end of the island.〔 The cave is around 3 metres long, 1 metre wide and 2 metres high, and contains two incised crosses on its east wall, dated by their style to around 700 AD.〔 Saint Cormac (or Cormaic, Carmaig, Charmaig) is an obscure figure; he lived at the beginning of the 7th century and he may have been a son of Cormac, King of Leinster.〔(Saint Carmaig and Knapdale ), Celtic Knapdale, accessed 13 May 2014〕 He is the legendary founder of Keills Chapel 3.5 miles to the north on the Scottish mainland, and he is reputed to have used this cave as his hermitage.〔 The rough stone wall in front of the cave may have been a medieval structure to control pilgrim access to the cave.〔
