Rock arch and Uamh Mhòr, Strathy Point It's quite difficult to get a decent image of Uamh Mhòr (the Big Cave) for a couple of reasons. Firstly the contrast between the darkness of the cave and the bright sea is a challenge for the camera's metering system and secondly, the only direct view into the cave is from the sea in what is usually a very choppy gully!

Strathy Point The view is across the mouth of the channel which terminates in Uamh Mhor. Given a larger image, it is possible to see the headlands on Clo Mor, Faraid Head, Whitten Head and Rabbit Island along the north coast.
