Bha bùth Eilean Iarmain air aon de na bùithtean a bu thrainge air taobh siar na dùthcha ri linn iasgach an sgadain. B’ e eilean a bh’ ann an Eilean Iarmain gu ruige toiseach an 19mh linn is e air a chuairteachadh nuair a bha an làn àrd. Chaidh an caolas beag a lìonadh nuair a bhathar ga leasachadh mar phort airson an iasgaich. Tha Eilean Iarmain is an taigh-òsta air a bhith aig teis-meadhan nan gnìomhachasan is leasachaidhean a thug Iain Noble do Shlèite nuair a cheannaich e an oighreachd anns na 1970an.

Isleornsay stores was one of the busiest shops on the western seaboard at the height of the herring fishing. Eilean Iarmain/Isleornsay was an actual island until the beginning of the 19th century, surround by water at high tide. The narrow strait was filled when it was planned as a fishing port. Eilean Iarmain and the hotel have been at the heart of business and improvements that Iain Noble brought to Sleat after buying the estate in the 1970s.
