Has to be The Minch though surely?
Correct at last! Though not Eilean Rona, but Eugenie Rock where the vessel Eugenie foundered and which is part of Sgeir Graidach, a navigational hazard.
The Minch is home to the Blue Men of the Minch, who beguile sailors to their doom with beautiful singing.
It is slso the site of the largest known meteorite strike in the British Isles and adjoins the Little Minch at its southerly end, together separating the inner and outer Hebrides.
I think that covers all the clues I struggled to produce.
Your go.
