Going ashore at Port nan Urrachann, Scarba Port nan Urrachann is a temporary anchorage on the W. side of Scarba suitable in calm weather and light winds from E through SSW. As on this occasion in June 2010, it can be used as a stopping point for boats waiting for slack water before transiting the Gulf of Corryvreckan just to the South. The crew landing in the dinghy are heading over to see the famous Corryvreckan whirlpool from the Scarba shore.

The west coast of Scarba This rocky coastline at Creag an Eas was viewed from a small boat at Port nan Urrachann. The stained rock face on the far left is the location of a waterfall that has dried up due to a lengthy spell of dry weather.

The summit of Cruach Scarba, 449m An otherwise pleasant day deteriorated into cloud and rain whilst I was near the summit, hence this rather misty view. Such conditions, unfortunately, seem all too common on Scarba!
