Eilean Shona A very attractive tidal island seen from the South Channel of Loch Moidart. Taken before returning along the shore of Shona Beag (same island, different estate) to avoid the fast tidal stream between here and Riska on the ebb.

Cairn on Beinn a' BhÃ illidh One of the ribs of Beinn a&#039; Bhàillidh, a cairn with a very fine view of Loch Moidart. Very handy this view, with the usual anxieties of the interloper as regards the state of the tide. Stories abound of scary wades of the ford.
