Borranish a Muigh is a captivating coastal feature located in the county of Ross-shire, Scotland. Situated on the western coast, it is specifically found on a headland that juts out into the sea, forming a point that offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

The headland of Borranish a Muigh is characterized by its rugged and rocky terrain, which is typical of the Scottish coastline. Its cliffs, rising steeply from the water, provide a dramatic backdrop to the crashing waves below. The coastline is interspersed with small caves and crevices that have been eroded by the relentless power of the sea over time.

This headland is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, as it serves as an important nesting site for numerous seabirds such as puffins, gannets, and razorbills. Visitors can witness these fascinating creatures perched on the cliffs, or soaring through the air as they dive into the water in search of fish.

The point of Borranish a Muigh offers panoramic views of the nearby coastline and the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. On a clear day, one can see the distant peaks of the Outer Hebrides, adding to the sense of awe and tranquility that this coastal feature evokes.

Due to its remote location and rugged terrain, Borranish a Muigh is not easily accessible. However, for those willing to make the journey, it rewards them with an unforgettable experience of Scotland's untamed beauty and the power of nature.

Uig Sands, looking N from Carnish They say Uig Sands are the best beach in Scotland, and I've never seen a beach as good.  Very large area of sand, turquoise/azure sea becoming dark blue, transparent sea water, shoreline not built up.  The beach was very crowded: there was a single person visible on the sand.
