Frozen beach, Loch ma Stac Loch ma Stac, is natural, but there is a weir to enlarge capacity (hydroelectricity). The water has been drawn down during this cold dry period of weather leaving a peaty beach lightly covered in snow at the northern end of the loch. The hill is Meall a'Chrataich.

Across the moorland to Meall a' Chràthaich Looking right across the square, pretty much corner to corner.  The cliffs on the hill are rather easier than they appear on the map.

The ruin on Loch ma Stac The island at the north east end of the loch has this rather intriguing ruin. Its lower windows are barred, and there is a high level door at the back.  If it had been by flowing water you might have guessed a mill, and there is a Loch a' Mhuilinn nearby.  One end has a very large opening, and a high level door, and the internal timbers look like there was a section of the building that was full height.  I only stuck my head in briefly as there was not much evidence of recent maintenance. The dormer window seems at variance to the rest of the character of the building.

Causeway to the Island on Loch ma Stac The causeway is marked on the 1:25000 so was surprised to find it, and such a large building.
