occasion, this minke came into the bay to join us.

The sunrises can be spectacular from the bay as this one with the
Cuillins of Skye to be seen in the distance.
Sandray

and the anchorage. |

The flowers are
marvellous with many of the usual machair species as well as
some interesting insect life such as this five spot burnett
moth. |
| Although Sandray
may its name from the impressive sand dunes that are along the
east side, it is crossed by two huge ridges of Lewissian gneiss
that cut across the island.Although Sandray may its name from

From the top of
these the views are spectacular and make the walk up well
worth the effort. |

Mingulay
 |
I
often get asked which is my favourite island - Mingulay is
one of the islands that always comes to mind. A real jewel
in the sea, not easy to get to (although day trips now run
from Barra), with a history that almost equals that of St
Kilda, a truly beautiful island with superb wildlife.
As
you can see here, on the east side of the island is a relatively
sheltered sandy bay and it is here where the remains of the
village are to be found. The island in the mid distance is
Berneray or Barra head. |
|
|
|
The
island is very much wedge shaped with gentle slopes down to
the east bay, but with enormous and extremely spectacular
cliffs, falling away to the west. There are considerable numbers
of nesting seabirds on the cliffs, and like at At Kilda, the
islanders used these as a source of food etc in times past. |
 |
| |
Some of the stacs
and broken cliffs such as Arnamul stac form incredible shapes
and passages with wave torn caves reaching right through the
center of the stacs
|

|
|
Back
on the east side, this image shows the bay with boats at anchor
and the village lies at the head of the sandy beach
|
|
| |
|
|
|
One of the particularly
interesting things at Mingulay is the colony of grey seals that
use the beach throughout the year. |
|
Barra
Head
|
To
the south of Mingulay lies the most southerly of the Priest
Isles - Berneray or Barra Head |
|
| |
|
|
With
gentle slopes to the north and east, the island has enormous
cliffs to the West and south,
with
the lighthouse, often wreathed in cloud at a height of 600ft.
The cliffs are also the nesting site for thousands of puffins,
guillemots and razorbills.
|
 |
|
On
one occasion we were there when the engineers were making
repairs and were lucky enough to get to the top of the light
- the views were stunning!
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| The Lighthouse was
built on parts of a stone age fort, remains of which are still
to be seen - here a guest walks through a door in the perimeter
wall. |
