Tiree is known for the 1st-century-AD Dun Mor Vaul, for the prehistoric carved Ringing Stone and for the birds of the {{lang|gd|Ceann a' Mhara|italic=no}} headland.

{{lang|gd|Adomnán|italic=no}}, abbot of Iona Abbey 679–704, recorded several stories relating to St Columba and the island of Tiree.

In one story, Columba warned a monk called Berach not to sail directly from Iona to Tiree, and instead to take a different route, and the monk went against his advice and sailed directly, but along the way, a huge whale came out of the sea and almost destroyed their boat. Columba gave the same warning to {{lang|gd|Baithéne mac Brénaind|italic=no}} who replied that both he and the whale were in God's hands, and Columba told him to go because his faith would save him. And {{lang|gd|Baithene|italic=no}} set off for Tiree, and when the whale appeared, he raised his hands and blessed it and it went back down into the ocean.

In another story, {{lang|gd|Adomnán|italic=no}} claimed there to be a monastery on the island of Tiree that was called Artchain. The monastery had been founded by a priest called Findchan, who was very closely attached "in a carnal way" to {{lang|gd|Áed Dub mac Suibni|italic=no}}. Columba took issue at Aed Dub's ordination because he had previously killed a number of men and prophesied that Aed Dub would ultimately leave the priesthood and return to his sinful life as a murderer, only to be killed violently himself.Thomas Innes, The Civil and Ecclesiastical History of Scotland, Aberdeen, 1853.Carlos Herrero, and Elena González-Cascos, Philip Perry’s Sketch of the Ancient British History: A Critical Edition

In another story, {{lang|gd|Adomnán|italic=no}} claimed that {{lang|gd|Baithéne mac Brénaind|italic=no}} asked Columba to pray for a good wind to get him to Tiree, and it was given to him, and he crossed the sea from Iona to Tiree with full sail. In another story, Columba instructed a particular monk to go to the monastery on Tiree and do penance for seven years. In another story, Columba banished some demons from Iona who then went to the island of Tiree to afflict the monks there instead. {{lang|gd|Adomnán|italic=no}} also records there being more than one monastery on Tiree in that time period, and that {{lang|gd|Baithéne mac Brénaind|italic=no}} had been abbot of one of these monasteries.Adomnan of Iona. Life of St Columba. Penguin Books, 1995

Writing in 1549, Donald Munro, High Dean of the Isles wrote of "Thiridh" that it was: {{lang|sco|"ane mane laich fertile fruitful cuntrie... All inhabite and manurit with twa paroche kirkis in it, ane fresh water loch with an auld castell. Na cuntrie may be mair fertile of corn and very gude for wild fowls and for fishe, with ane gude heavin for heiland galayis"|italic=no}}.{{#tag:ref|English translation from Lowland Scots: "a low-lying fertile fruitful country... Its entirety is inhabited and manured and there are two parish churches and a freshwater lake with an old castle. Nowhere is more fertile for corn and it is good for wild fowl and fish, with a good harbour for Highland galleys."Munro, D. (1818) Description of the Western Isles of Scotland called Hybrides, by Mr. Donald Munro, High Dean of the Isles, who travelled through most of them in the year 1549. Miscellanea Scotica, 2. Quoted in Banks (1977) p. 190|group="Note"}}

In 1770, half of the island was held by fourteen farmers who had drained land for hay and pasture. Instead of exporting live cattle (which were often exhausted by the long journey to market and so fetched low prices), they began to export salt beef in barrels to get better prices. The rest of the island was let to 45 groups of tenants on co-operative joint farms: agricultural organisations probably dating from clan times. Field strips were allocated by annual ballot. Sowing and harvesting dates were decided communally. It is reported that in 1774, Tiresians were 'well-clothed and well-fed, having an abundance of corn and cattle'.

Its name derives from {{lang|gd|Tìr Iodh}}, 'land of the corn', from the days of the 6th century Celtic missionary and abbot St Columba (d. 597). Tiree provided the monastic community on the island of Iona, southeast of the island, with grain. A number of early monasteries once existed on Tiree itself, and several sites have stone cross-slabs from this period, such as St Patrick's Chapel, {{lang|gd|Ceann a' Mhara|italic=no}} (NL 938 401) and Soroby (NL 984 416).

Skerryvore lighthouse, {{convert|12|mi|km|abbr=off}} south west of Tiree, was built with some difficulty between 1838 and 1844 by Alan Stevenson.

A large Royal Air Force station was built on Tiree during World War II. The weather observations from squadron 518 collected helped inform Group Captain James Martin Stagg's recommendation to General Dwight D. Eisenhower to delay the launching of the D-Day invasion of Normandy from 5 June to 6 June 1944.{{cite news |last=Buttle |first=Cameron |date=5 June 2019 |title=The RAF weathermen who helped save D-Day |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-48498383 |work=BBC Scotland |access-date=9 June 2019}} The airfield became Tiree Airport in 1947.{{cite web|url=http://www.controltowers.co.uk/T-V/Tiree.htm |title=RAF Tiree airfield |publisher=Control Towers|access-date=26 July 2012}} There was also an RAF Chain Home radar station at Kilkenneth and an RAF Chain Home Low radar station at {{lang|gd|Beinn Hough|italic=no}}. These were preceded by a temporary RAF Advanced Chain Home radar station at Port Mor and an RAF Chain Home Beam radar station at Barrapol. Post-war there was RAF Scarinish ROTOR radar station at {{lang|gd|Beinn Ghott|italic=no}}.

Tiree is formed largely from gneiss forming the Lewisian complex, a suite of metamorphic rocks of Archaean to early Proterozoic age. Granite of Archaean age is found locally. Igneous intrusions of dolerite, felsite, lamprophyre and diorite of Palaeozoic age are encountered in places.{{cite web |title=Tiree and Coll Scotland sheet 42 and 51W (Solid and Drift Geology) |url=http://www.largeimages.bgs.ac.uk/iip/mapsportal.html?id=1002385 |website=BGS large map images |publisher=British Geological Survey |access-date=3 February 2020}} The eastern part of the island is traversed by numerous normal faults most of which run broadly northwest–southeast. Quaternary sediments include raised beach deposits which are extensive across the island and incorporate areas of alluvium locally. There are considerable areas of blown sand in the west and behind the major bays elsewhere.{{cite web |title=Onshore Geoindex |url=https://mapapps2.bgs.ac.uk/geoindex/home.html |website=British Geological Survey |access-date=3 February 2020}}

The main village on Tiree is Scarinish.

The highest point on Tiree is Ben Hynish, to the south of the island, which rises to {{convert|141|m|ft|0|abbr=off}}.

Caledonian MacBrayne operate a ferry to Scarinish.

More limited services operate in Winter.

Tiree Airport is located at Crossapol. Loganair provide daily flights to Glasgow International and Hebridean Air Services fly to Coll and Oban.{{cite web| url=http://www.hebrideanair.co.uk/flights/Oban_Scheduled_Timetable.html| title=Summer Timetable 2012| publisher=Hebridean Air Services| access-date=15 April 2012| archive-date=7 June 2012| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120607054223/http://www.hebrideanair.co.uk/flights/Oban_Scheduled_Timetable.html| url-status=dead}}

Roads on Tiree, in common with many other small islands, are nearly all single-track roads. There are passing places, locally called 'pockets', where cars must wait to enable oncoming traffic to pass or overtake.

As with the rest of western Scotland, Tiree experiences a maritime climate (Cfb) with cool summers and mild winters. Despite its being on the same latitude as Labrador on the opposite side of the Atlantic Ocean, snow and frost are rare, and short-lived when they occur. Weather data is collected at the island's airport. The lowest temperature to occur in recent years was {{convert|-5.8|C|F}} during the cold spell of December 2010.{{cite web | publisher = UKMO | url= http://metofficenews.wordpress.com/2010/12/18/minimum-temperatures-and-snow-across-the-uk-last-night-4/ | title = 2010 temperature| date= 2010-12-18 }} The extreme maritime moderation contributes to summer temperatures that are far below even coastal locations in continental Europe on similar latitudes. Winter temperatures are similar to those of coastal southern England.
