Trig Point on Cleiseabhal with view to Leosabhal & Tiorga Mor The walk to the summit of Cleiseabhal is surprisingly easy after leaving the B887 at NB065072 and making for the southwest ridge, however the first few hundred feet there is tussicky grass to cross.

Bridge over the Abhainn Mhiabhaig This is part of an excellent track which takes the fisherman to Lochs Scourst and Bhoisimid (Voshmid). For the bird watcher, it leads to a golden eagle observatory and for the walker, it forms part of a full day trek through some wonderful Harris scenery.

Eagle country or what? What a wild part of the world this is! On the high slopes there is the occasional sheep to be seen and the spaniels have just flushed two hen grouse and a snipe. The track leads to the eagle observation hut of Gleann Mhiabhaig.

Eagle spotting by Loch Scourst Keep an eye on your dog! I know of a report from the Loch Shin region in Sutherland where a man lost his terrier to an eagle. One eagle was spotted here during an hour's visit. The spaniels lived to tell the tale.
