A pretty lochan This is Lochan Mealabhat, two thirds of which is in this square. It is a pleasing geograph photo, because it clearly shows what you can see on the map: I'm standing on a little tongue of land that sticks out into the lochan, the tongue is in the square, and I'm looking across to a similar tongue.

Geodha an Fhithich I spotted this on the map and I just had to visit it. Fhithich, as some of my regular readers will know is the domain name for this blog. It’s Gaelic for raven. Geodha means a chasm or ravine. So this is the ravine of the raven. I must admit I was a bit disappointed. I’ve seen geodha before which have much more vertical sides but the sea stacks in the bay across to the headland Àird Feinis were spectacular.
