The Low Wing The small summit cairn on Sgaoth Iosal - The Low Wing is the translation from the Gaelic. The snowy West Harris Hills can be seen as well as the 3 turbines of the North Harris Trust at Monan. These are unique two-bladed machines that can deal with the turbulent wind conditions found amongst the North Harris hills and were manufactured in New Zealand. They were installed in late 2014/early 2015.

Sheiling remains beside Lochannan Lacasdail If you try to walk from the track to the loch, you can see why the owners would have built their property on a mound - it's very wet ground. The Abhainn Dhiobadail isn't particularly high here. In spite of the mist on the hill,there had been very little rain for weeks. In spate conditions it would easily flood the land around the knoll.
