Rùm (a Scottish Gaelic name which is often anglicised to Rum) is one of the Small Isles of the Inner Hebrides, administratively part of Lochaber, Highland, Scotland. For several decades the name was spelt Rhum, which was coined in the 1900s by the former owner, Sir George Bullough, because he did not relish the idea of having the title Laird of Rum. It now has no indigenous population, but is inhabited by about 30 people - employees of Scottish National Heritage and their families, together with a number of researchers, and a school teacher. All the residents live in the village of Kinloch, in the east of the island, which has no church or pub, but does have a village hall and a small primary school. It also has a small shop and post office, which is manned by volunteers and keeps irregular hours. With an area of about forty square miles, Rum is the largest of the Small Isles.
