Corr Eilean

We sailed to Corr Eilean, visiting St. Cormac’s Chapel, Cross and Cave. Luckily this island has a small jetty and we managed to get ashore safely.

Nearby to the east is the smaller island of Corr Eilean, home to a prehistoric cairn, over 8m tall and 1m wide. We tried to land on the north east. Sadly for Captain Allen and Vice-Admiral Drew there is no landing pier on this island. To make matters worse, the wind had changed direction, making anchoring and rowing to the island impossible, we’ll try again next year.

The Vice Admiral took charge of controls, for the return journey, and sailed the boat successfully back to Tayvallich. Good views of all the forts and duns en route.

Attempted visit 11/04/2024.
