Landing Strip With binoculars, we could see that the notice board gives information about the airstrip shown on the map, but we could not read the information, and there seems to be no access to it.

Windfarm information Electronic information board by the three wind turbines on Gigha. There is a continuous readout of wind speed, direction, power generation etc. The use of these second hand turbines appears a sensible one for an island community, so much better than covering vast areas of the Highlands in unsightly and uneconomic windfarms.
