Puffins at Handa Island Puffins, now becoming a common site once again on the island of Handa.

Handa Island is formed from stratified Torridonian sandstone and is one of the largest seabird colonies in North Western Europe. Inhabited by man until 1847, this island is now home to a vast array of seabirds such as great skuas (arctic and great), razorbills, guillemots, kittiwakes and puffins.

The great stack is possibly the best place to see and hear this huge colony on seabirds. Puffins are now returning to colonise the stack after the eradication of brown rats in 1997.
