Luing (An t-Eilean Luinn in Gaelic) is one of the Slate Islands, in Lorne, in the west of Argyll in Scotland, about Sixteen miles south of Oban. It has the population of as much as 200 people, mostly sleep in Cullipool, Toberonochy (Tobar Dhonnchaidh), and Black Mill Bay. Ferries sail from a island to Cuan on Seil. A independent industries in Luing come tourism, lobster fishing and beef farming, although slate quarrying was important until 1939, sustaining quarries at Toberonochy, Culipool, & the little 1 at Port Mary. Slate from either Luing was utilized in the construction of Glasgow University. For such the little island, Luing has produced many Mòd gold medallists: Nan MacInnes (1926, around Oban), Sandy Brown (1938, within Glasgow) and Hughie MacQueen (1985, inside Lochaber).
