Abhainn Lacasaidh (Laxay River)

The view of the river from the top of Cnoa a' Ghille Ruaidh Bhig. Its name means 'salmon river' and it drains Loch nam Faoileag 'loch of the gulls' into the sea-loch Loch Eireasort via Loch Bhaltois (not to be confused with the other Bhaltos on the west side of the island). The low green hill on the far bank is Druim nan Iadhlann, and the higher brown ridge is Beinn Ceadraiseal.
