Rough ground, Eriska Eriska is a rough island, but is blessed with a good path network so is easier to get around than the neighbouring peninsula. The ground here is boggy, a raised beach. There is an issue with Rhododendron ponticum unfortunately.
The hills are Creach Bheinn and Ben Buie on Mull with Lismore in the middle distance.
