Beinn Arnicil

The end of the public road at The Strand, Colonsay The temporary notice attached to the road sign is from the RSPB informing would-be visitors that Oronsay was closed due to the Foot and Mouth epidemic. Colonsay was open to visitors as long as cars were washed in Oban before catching the ferry and all who arrived on Colonsay had to walk through a detergent bath. The Strand can be crossed on foot and by landrover at low tide states.
