Geocaching is a type of global treasure hunt of people looking for caches, or hidden stashes of objects. Geocaching may also be described as a series of hide-and-seek games, where hiders provide online clues for seekers. Seekers use global positioning system (GPS) devices to find hidden caches

Tiumpan Head Lighthouse

Tiumpan Head is located at the far eastern end of Point in Lewis. The lighthouse located here marks the western limit of the Minch. Designed by David and Charles Stevenson, it was first lit in December 1900. Still an active lighthouse today, it was automated in 1985. It is a Category C listed building (LB19209 Link

Historic Environment Scotland).

Tigh-sholuis Rubh an t-Siumpain (Tiumpan Head Lighthouse)

The lighthouse stands at the tip of the Eye Peninsula. It is 21 metres (69 feet) tall, and dates from 1900. It has been automated since 1985, and the buildings are now occupied by a kennels and cattery. The headland is named as Ceann an t-Siumpan on the 1:25,000 map, which seems rather odd.

If you use NB5737 : Stile and footpath sign at Tiumpan Head and walk down a little way, this is the view that greets you.

Dumping Ground

One of the most striking changes in the Western Isles since I first visited them is that the heaps of rusting cars, machinery and other metal objects have mostly been removed from the countryside. However the long arm of the local authority has evidently failed to the reach the head of the geodha at Fidigeadh, which is disfigured by this motley collection of rusting barbed wire, car parts and pieces of wood.
