Cnoc Druim an Iasgair

Loch Bi Narrows, South Uist Immediately west of the footbridge <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7148554">NF7941 : Hebridean Way Footbridge, South Uist</a> lie the real narrows. Although largele freshwater, Loch Bi is connected to the sea at both its east and west ends. When the tide is ebbing or flowing, a current is generated in the loch. Over most of it, this is imperceptible but at pinch points, especially the narrows at the footbridge, the rate can be considerable. The gap in the photo is little more than the width of a rowing boat, producing the strongest current. It took the combined efforts of an outboard motor and punting with oars to escape through to the west towards the sunset.
