Creag na Druideige is a prominent coastal feature located in Argyllshire, Scotland. It is a stunning headland that juts out into the sea, forming a distinctive point along the coastline. The name "Creag na Druideige" translates to "Rock of the Druids" in English, hinting at the historical significance of the site.

This headland is characterized by its rugged and rocky terrain, with steep cliffs that provide breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The cliffs are comprised of ancient rock formations, displaying layers of sedimentary rock that have been shaped by years of erosion caused by the relentless crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean.

The area surrounding Creag na Druideige is rich in biodiversity, with a variety of plant and animal species calling it home. Visitors can expect to see a range of seabirds nesting on the cliffs, including puffins, guillemots, and razorbills. Occasionally, seals can be spotted basking on the rocks, adding to the natural beauty of the headland.

The location of Creag na Druideige also makes it an ideal spot for outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking trails wind their way along the cliffs, offering stunning views and opportunities for exploration. The headland's proximity to the sea makes it a popular spot for fishing and water sports such as kayaking and surfing.

Overall, Creag na Druideige is a captivating coastal feature that showcases the raw beauty of the Argyllshire coastline. Its rugged cliffs, diverse wildlife, and recreational opportunities make it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.

Track over the machair This is the track from the parking place to Feall Bay. Vehicles obviously use it to save what is a very pleasant walk, although a sign at the car park asks them not to.

Isle of Coll: postbox № PA78 113 This postbox serves the southwestern part of the island and may appear to be out of use at first glance, as it is missing its collection plate and appears to have a blocked slot. It is in use, however; the blockage is an appropriately shaped bag of straw wedged into the slot to keep out undesirables such as snails and rain. It can be removed easily to post a letter and equally easily replaced. Although there is no collection plate present, it probably has the same collection times as the other two boxes on the island: early morning on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays - the ferry timetable on Tuesdays and Thursdays presumably do not permit collections that will go anywhere that day.
