East to Malcolms Point Crossing a feature shown as Aoineadh Beag on the map, meaning the little steep brae with rocks! - well I suppose it is a steep slope to the left and there are rocks on the shore! Malcolms Point in distance with Carsaig Arches below, just about peeking round the corner. The high ground at extreme right of picture is the island of Scarba.
