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.
