Top layer of the cake: Beinn Eolasary The highest lava flow in Ulva&#039;s traps makes an impressive crag. The rock is very slippery though as I found out the hard way when trying to get through at a weakness.

South side of Ulva Looking along the coast from near Cille Mhic Eoghainn. I escaped the coastal plain by the skyline ridge which was &quot;interesting&quot;. Little Colonsay is the larger island in the background.

South side path, Ulva West of Cragaig, it is a matter of luck using the path in Summer. I was lucky, a quadbike had passed recently but the path was choked after the big nose above Cille Mhic Eoghainn. Bracken is quite an adversary on Ulva.
