Gloraig Huisinis Some might say the 'dreaded Huisinis Gloraigs' Strong tides prevail here and it does not take much strength of westerly wind to raise a nasty sea. The white sands of Huisinis Beach are prominent to the right of the frame and the Island of Scarp skyline can be seen in distance.

Is it real? What an amazing pastime is Geographing!  How else would you be able to spot and photograph a shot like this, unless you were heading to grab a Geograph in remote myriad NA?  This is of course a passing place - but the cow has completely misread the sign.
