Gleann Bhaltois (Glen Valtos) 6

Gleann Bhaltois is a spectacular example of a glacial meltwater channel. At the end of the last Ice Age, about 10,000 years ago, there is thought to have been a lake where Uig Bay now lies, dammed by ice to the west. The outlet from the lake was at the head of what is now Gleann Bhaltois, and carved a deep steep-sided glen, exploiting a fault line in the rocks. At this point, the glen steps down from its winding upper course through a rock fall to the much straighter lower course.

Name That Tune

This cheerful accordionist stands just inside a field by the cattle grid on the B8011 north of Cairisiadar. The label at his feet reads 'Name That Tune'.

Cairisiadar (Carishader)

Though the B8011 has been much improved, there are still some single-track stretches, notably where it crosses narrow bridges which have not been rebuilt, as here at Cairisiadar.
