Tiree - An Cnap north of Vaul

Looking seaward from the rocky outcrops north of Vaul. A small renovated building can be seen lower down the slope. I think that the grassy knoll (11m, 36') beyond it is probably the site of Dun Beag Fort.

Tiree - An Cnap Triangulation Pillar

The triangulation pillar (trig point) seen here is at An Cnap north of Vaul. It is at the modest height of 23m (75') ... but that's quite high for Tiree!

Tiree - Northern coast north of Vaul from Dùn Mòr broch

A panoramic view of the northern coast of Tiree north of Vaul as seen from the elevated position of Dùn Mòr broch. Dun Beag Fort is situated along this coastline but is not obvious in this image. The houses seen in the distance are near NM0449 : Tiree - An Cnap Triangulation Pillar towards the north of the settlement of Vaul.

Tiree - Ruaig - looking along the track from Tràigh Crionaig

According to the map the "yellow" (i.e. tarmacked) road through Ruaig continues all the way to the coast, but as can be seen from this image the tarmac actually runs out with quite a few yards to go.

Tiree - Rubh' a' Phuirt Bhig and the edge of Carsamull

Looking along the edge of the rocky outcrop of Carsamull towards Rubh' a' Phuirt Bhig (the point of land). This rock platform (off to the left) joins the island of Soa to the mainland of Tiree at low tide.

Sgeir a' Phartain

The only bit of the mapped skerries that were above water at the time (Neap flood tide a couple of hours after low water). Frustrating as the square to the south was undocumented here and on paper a bit of an easy bag in these conditions.
