Cappadale Sands The map names this arm of Tràigh Uige as Cappadale Sands. As the tide is in, the sand is only visible through the water, giving it that characteristic Hebridean turquoise colour. It would have been even better in sunshine. The hill on the skyline is Forsnabhal (205 metres), and the houses at the far side of the bay are at Timsgearraidh.

Thrift (Armeria maritima) A cushion of thrift provides a splash of colour on the bleak and windswept clifftop. The flower stalks are taller in more benign conditions, but here they are stunted by the wind and weather. I wonder whether any insects brave the wind to pollinate the flowers>

Gneiss Rocks This headland is mostly composed of striped grey Lewisian gneiss. The sloping rock face behind the foreground rock is a thrust plane which dips towards the east.

Thrift in a Cleft This Thrift plant has found a less exposed spot than <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2432622">NB0033 : Thrift (Armeria maritima)</a>, so has been able to grow into a more 'normal' shape. It is exploiting a crack in the inhospitable Lewisian gneiss, probably created by movement on the adjacent thrust.

Mangarstadh Head Contrast the glassy surface of the rock pool, sheltered from the wind, with the surf crashing on the cliffs beyond. The rock surfaces sloping from lower left to upper right are the faces of thrust planes generated by tectonic movements some 430 million years ago.
