A group [possibly 8] of red deer on the east side of Ronay. Deer are known to swim the sea channels between Ronay, Grimsay and North Uist. Currently, deer are the only large grazing animals on Ronay, there being no sheep on the island in 2010.

Rubha na Rodagrich

I'm not sure of the correct spelling of the island's name - the spelling given by the OS is inconsistent with conventional Gaelic orthography.

Kallin Harbour

The smaller vessels in the harbour are inshore lobster boats which use creels to trap crabs and lobsters. The larger vessels are offshore prawn boats which use trawl nets to catch the shellfish.

Small fishing boat entering Kallin harbour on a summer evening. This little boat has a 'FY' registration for Fowey in Cornwall, but arrived at Kallin on the back of a lorry. The 'Stelimar'is a local boat based here.
