Moss

While Tiree was a dry island, one of Tiree’s many illegal shebeens was located in Moss. A man known as Rìgh na Mòinteach ‘the King of Moss’, used to live in a thatched cottage here beside his daughter Mairi-Ann’ a’ Rìgh.

Mairi-Anna ran the shebeen. She only opened the door if you knocked in a particular way.

Tiree people used to cut their peats here, but later went to the Ross of Mull.
