Nature

Edernish is basically a granite rock in the ocean that - over the millions of years - was covered with soil on which grass, flowers, shrubs and trees developed. Nowadays the island is about 60% grass and shrubs 5% lakes and the balance is covered with trees.

History

Edernish was bought by Emerson Herdman from Sion Mills and he built the house in 1904. It is a wooden house and was erected by a Norwegian firm. The Herdman’s used the house as a summer retreat for many years but sold it then in 1935.

Weather

...is always good! We think that there is no bad weather but there might be bad planning and inappropriate clothing. As a matter of fact, one of the reasons that we enjoy Edernish so much is that the weather is changing and thus you have to adopt all the time.
