Shiaba

Shiaba was a crofting township on the Ross of Mull. The 130 residents were cleared to make way for sheep. These are the remains of their houses.

Clifftop View

This is more like the terrain you would expect for Aoineadh Beag, or a small steep brae with rocks, as the OS map names on the 1km square to the east. Dramatic scenery all the same with a 300 foot drop beneath my feet!

Last Sun of the Year, Ross of Mull

The sun will soon set on 2007 on the Ross of Mull. At the very western extremity of the South Mull Coast SSSI - the best example of coastal tertiary igneous escarpments in the Hebrides - Malcolms Point in the distance.

Tussocks and Bog

You can't see the bog in the photo but it was certainly all around, and typical tussocky Mull terrain - ankle turning at every step. After a day spent on the dramatic south coast of Mull it seemed an anti-climax to walk across this ground, but at least the views to Jura made up for it.

Traigh Bhan na Sgurra

View from near the top of Traigh Bhan na Sgurra with Loch Scridain in the distance. The small lochan (centre-left) was at one time stocked with rainbow trout by one enterprising local, but I doubt whether that is still the case.

Rubha nam BrÃ ithrean

Unusually, we were paddling into an easterly headwind, so were keeping well tucked into the shelter of various small headlands. There was also a bit of swell, so this provided a degree of rock-hopping fun on our way to Carsaig Arches from Uisken. Rubha nam Bràithrean is the last of the small headlands before a big bay, and Malcolm's Point in the distance. The wind exposure was probably maximum at this point of the journey, before tucking in to the big bay and getting increasing shelter from the big headland. By the time of our return journey the wind had dropped, but heavy showers had arrived - along with a pod of dolphins cavorting just offshore.
