The number of this telephone is 01470 511208. People in the village say that it hasn't worked for some time and that the box is used for shelter by stray sheep and hens.

Eas Aboist is a picturesque waterfall located in Inverness-shire, Scotland. Situated in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, this natural wonder is a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The waterfall is nestled in a scenic glen, surrounded by lush greenery and towering cliffs. It is fed by the Abhainn Deabhag river, which cascades down a series of rocky steps, creating a stunning display of rushing water. The waterfall is characterized by its impressive height and the powerful sound of the water crashing against the rocks below.

Eas Aboist is easily accessible by a well-maintained path that winds through the enchanting woodland. The path offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and provides ample opportunities for photography and wildlife spotting. Visitors can also enjoy a picnic or simply relax and soak in the tranquility of the area.

Due to its remote location, Eas Aboist remains relatively untouched by human activity, enhancing the sense of natural beauty and serenity. The waterfall is particularly captivating during the rainy season when the water flow is at its peak, creating a dramatic spectacle. However, even during drier periods, Eas Aboist retains its charm and allure.

For those seeking a tranquil escape into the heart of nature, Eas Aboist is a must-visit destination. Its unspoiled beauty and serene atmosphere make it an ideal spot for hiking, photography, and simply appreciating the wonders of the Scottish landscape.

Loch Pooltiel / Loch Pol an t-Sìl A view from Lower Milovaig across the loch to the waterfalls which plunge straight into the sea from the slopes of Ben Ettow and Scoval. Alexander Forbes in "Place-names of Skye" (1923) states that this inlet of the sea. formerly known as Loch a' Chuain ("The Ocean Loch") was renamed after Diel, a Danish prince whose body was washed ashore here and buried in Cille Chomhain, though a more prosaic etymology suggests Pol an t-Sìl ("The Seed Pool").
