Southeast coast of the Island of Danna This southeast side of Danna rises steeply for a short way above the waters of Loch Sween and has a narrow band of woodland right down to tidewater. The Loch itself is very sheltered and at this point has very little tidal flow, but further up is characterised by a double high tide as the rising tide is reflected from the inland end and travels back down.
