Eriskay, seen from Rubha Mealabhaig on South Uist Eriskay is a fairly small island, perhaps best known as the location of "Whisky Galore". Its summit is Beinn Sciathan, 185m in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NF7911">NF7911</a>. The causeway from South Uist can be seen on the right, and beyond Eriskay is the island of Barra.
