I like the name :-)

The hill behind catches my eye. Is that a wall/track going diagonally across the hill? Looks a bit like a vein of quartz, impressive if it is.

That is a wall but there traces of quartz in it. I noticed that as well, climbed Ceapabhal later that day, magnificent views and with binoculars a hint of St Kilda to the west. drewbhoy Posted by drewbhoy

Sounds great. I'd love a trip up through the Outer Hebrides one day, Barra to Lewis. thelonious Posted by thelonious

Yeah, did that about a decade ago now. Stayed in the YHs which were thatched blackhouses. Would love to go back, too. GLADMAN Posted by GLADMAN
