Torsa

Torsa (occasionally Torsay) is one of the Slate Islands in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Lying east of Luing and south of Seil, the island was inhabited until the 1960s. There is now only one house on the island, which is used for holiday lets. Its main industry is farming, with cattle brought over from the neighbouring island of Luing. The Luing cattle were bred for their hardiness. The island is connected to its smaller partner, Torsa Beag (Gaelic for little Torsa).

In Cuan Sound, the north-going stream begins 4.5 hours after high water and sets westward; the south-going stream begins 1.5 hours before high water and sets eastward; the streams attain a rate of 7 knots at springs. This coast from Cuan Sound to Easdale Bay is in many places foul and rocky for 1.5 cables of it.
