Sandy beach on Orasaigh There are four Orasaighs around Barra, it being the Gaelic for small tidal island. The fishing waste on the beach is unfortunately common, though it will do less harm on the beach than on the seabed.

Cross-cutting Dykes The dark dyke is an undeformed 'younger basic' dyke cutting across a pegmatitic granite vein which itself cuts through a microdiorite dyke. The pegamtite is not easy to see in this image; it is the pale rock on either side of the narrowest part of the dark mafic dyke.
