Waterfall Ahead

Burn in Glen Caladale just before it plunges to the sea - Minginish peninsula, Isle of Skye

Adam Ward

Coastline and Canna

Coastal scenery of the Minginish peninsula with a dramatic sky above Canna. You can just see An Dubh-sgeir at left.

Adam Ward

Loch Eynort Coast

Lovely coastal scenery at Loch Eynort, Isle of Skye with the brooding Cuillin shrouded in mist and cloud behind.

Adam Ward

Waterfall

A lovely spot to stop for lunch on a coastal walk round the Minginish peninsula, Isle of Skye. Not marked on OS 1:50,000 incredibly!

Adam Ward

Runrigs

Old runrigs - fertile strips of land, once cultivated - beside Loch Eynort, Isle of Skye.

Creagan Dubh

Coastline on the north side of the entrance to Loch Eynort.

John Allan

Ruins in Tusdale

Just a few of the many ruined houses in Tusdale, emptied of their people during the clearances. Signs of cultivation are clear on the hillside beyond. It is said that Tusdale once had so many inhabitants that it was known as "the capital of Skye".

John Allan

Geodha nan Gobhar

A substantial geodh on the coast south of Loch Eynort. The cliff edges on this stretch of coast are convex and crumbly. Not a place to get too close to the edge.

John Allan

Laimhrig na Moine

Peaty moorland south of the mouth of Loch Eynort. Most of the land in the square can be seen in this view.

John Allan

Radio station on Cnoc an Teine

Presumably once a hill with a fire beacon, it now has the remains of a radio station on its summit. The two container-like boxes in the rear appear to be generators and the small wooden hut holds an empty computer cabinet with BT labels on it. I guess it is a redundant telephone relay that connected Skye and the Western Isles.

John Allan

Field at Kraiknish

A surprisingly remote harvested field at Kraiknish on the south shore of Loch Eynort. It is a single, isolated, field and is 4km from the closest habitation.

John Allan

Turf wall south of Kraiknish

Looking up, more steeply than the picture suggests, towards the summit of An Cruachan.

John Allan

Cairn by the Allt Sgeiteadh

What appears to be a chambered burial cairn by the burn south of Cnoc an Teine. It is not marked on the OS maps.

John Allan

Sheepfold at Kraiknish

Complete with eleven hungry sheep and no sign of anyone to feed them.

John Allan

An Dubh-sgeir

The sgeir is the only dry land in the square. This view is from the cliff top north of Geodha nan Gobhar.

John Allan

Ruins at Kraiknish

This area of Skye is miles from the closest habitation today, but it once supported a fair sized community. There are many ruined houses of different ages and there is much evidence of agriculture in the area. The view beyond the ruin is across Loch Eynort to Tusdale and Beinn Bhreac.
