Cnoc na Faire Mor, Colonsay A fine viewpoint overlooking the village of Scalasaig and the Colonsay harbour. Many maps (including perhaps some of those shown on this site) indicate a golf course on land to the right of this photo. It seems rather unlikely! Colonsay Golf Club is on the other side of the island, about 4km west of here and close to the Landing Strip.
