Paddling over a reef off the north of Skye

A sea kayak trip from Staffin round the Trotternish peninsula to Port Duntulm via the exposed headland of Rubha Hunish offers some exciting headlands with tide races. Between the more exposed points, one finds interest in paddling over and between rocks, lifted by the swell. Here, after passing Rubha Bheanachain at the start of the exposed section, and Rubha na-h-Aiseig to reach the northern coast, we are in a bit of an embayment out of the main tidal flow with one more section of caves and arches to explore before the tide rushes us past Rubha Hunish in the trip's culmination.

A surprise fence

There are high, usually un-fenced cliffs round the coast of much of the Isle of Skye, so it comes as a bit of a surprise to find a sturdy fence here, north of The Aird, with only a relatively gentle slope to the shore below. Beyond is the Hunish peninsula.

Ruins above the shore

Looking down from the hillside above, it is clear that there are three unroofed but substantially complete ruined buildings amid the heather and bracken just above the shore of Lùb Stac nam Meann.

Beach and ruins above LÃ¹b Stac nam Meann

A small flock of sheep is grazing around the ruins.

Boulder beach above LÃ¹b Stac nam Meann

The beach is made up of rounded boulders, none of them small enough to be described as pebbles.

Rubha na h-Aiseig

This is the seldom-visited north eastern tip of the Trotternish Peninsula. The low headland jutting into the sea in the centre of the picture is Rubha Hunish, a far more popular spot to visit, being the most northerly tip of the Isle of Skye.

South from Rubha na h-Aiseig

This flat, low-lying piece of land, which is boggy away from the shore, lies to the east of Ben Volovaig. The northern end of the Trotternish Ridge hides under cloud on the right. Eilean Flodigarry is visible on the horizon on the left.

Over Rubha na h-Aiseig to Eilean Trodday

The nearest part of the small island is in grid square NG4478. There is a lighthouse on the island, which was visible from where this picture was taken, but does not show up in my photograph.
