Eilean Rìgh is an island in the Inner Hebrides of the west coast of Scotland. It lies in Loch Craignish, about off the Argyll coastline. The name is Gaelic for "King's Island", although which royal is not known. ==History== The island has the remains of two Iron Age forts. In the 1930s, the island was home to Sir Reginald Johnston, retired tutor to Puyi, the last Chinese emperor. Johnston modernised the houses, built a Buddhist temple, and even flew the flag of Manchukuo in the Chinese-style gardens.〔 The property was purchased by a retired Indian army officer, Major Campbell, who lived in it with his family until the outbreak of the Second World War, when they left for a house in Ardfern. In 1959 it was purchased by Wilfred Brown and his cousin Robert Banks Skinner as a holiday home. In 1992 it was sold to James Waldegrave, Viscount Chewton. The current owner is a Scottish-based financier, C. Siva-Jothy, who bought the island from Viscount Chewton and then substantially renovated the properties on it and installed mains electrics via an undersea power cable and telecoms via a microwave link. He is a former partner in Goldman Sachs, where he was in charge of Global Proprietary Trading (1992-2004). He retired from Goldman Sachs in 2004. The current owner moved back to Eilean Righ in 2015 after selling his estate in the North of Scotland and now resides their full-time with his wife. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eilean Rìgh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
