Tide turning on an Eriskay beach

The tide is just lapping at the outer rocks on the beach.

Tide creeping up on an Eriskay shoreline

The same rocky gully as in NF7811 : Tide turning on an Eriskay beach two hours later, after an outdoor meal at the local restaurant. Just enough breeze to keep the midges away.

Rubha Chlaidh on Eriskay

Translating as 'the headland of the graveyard' it's easy to see why as the graveyard is on the top of the grassy rise. This beach is the one Peter May, in his book "The Lewis Man", calls Charlie's Beach. See also NF7811 : Rubha Chlaidh for another view of the beach.

Rosinish, Eriskay

A rather soggy path leading through the old settlement at Rosinish.

Ruined croft at Rosinish.

Maybe this was once a traditional 'black house', though the windows look a trifle large. Note that the photographer's rather dated OS map shows the Anglicised 'Rosinish', whereas the up to date map extract on the website shows the Gaelic form [Roisinis].

This is the wilder coastline of Eriskay where ruined crofts may be found indicating a once thriving community.

The ferry from Barra arriving at Eriskay

The ferry terminal at Ceann a' Ghàraidh on Eriskay was opened in 2001 when the Eriskay causeway was opened. The service is currently operated by the MV 'Loch Alainn'.
