The only anchorage in the Sailing Directions on Shuna is the bay at the north end of the island although there must be other places too, like Poll na Gile. Nowadays there is just one farm and one family with several cottages for more-or-less off-grid holiday lets. Remarkably there is available "a 17 foot aluminium-hulled open assault craft with a small outboard motor"! However, things may change as the whole island and all its buildings went on the market in 2025 at £5.5 million.
There does not seem anything very specific to see and do on Shuna Island (don't confuse this Shuna with the Loch Linnhe Shuna). From the north anchorage, where there is a decaying hulk to inspect, you can walk through rather difficult terrain of bog, bracken and bushes to Shuna House, a post-Edwardian wreck, with collapsed ceilings and mouldy furniture - hardly worth it really. It's just a mess, not even mentioned in 'Pevsner'. The roof is still on and so I suppose some rich person might make something of it before it is too late. There are adjacent farm buildings, with a dog. Otherwise Shuna is a place to wander around, or just to sit and admire the view from the cockpit.
