West coast of Great Bernera

This is the west side of a spit of land extending south of Tobson. The ground is rocky with a thin covering of grass. In the distance, on the left is the tip of the island of Pabaigh Mor .. and on the right Geodha Mor (west of Tobson).

Sea loch west of Loch Veiravat

Although it isn't obvious from here, this is the start of a long channel that leads out to the sea.

Moorland and loch on Great Bernera

The loch is unnamed on the map, but the Allt Loch an Fheoir flows into it, so this must be Loch an Fheoir. The houses in the distance are on the road south of Bhalasaigh.
