Worth knowing
Rated moderate because the verdict here is really about whether the boat runs — sailings are cancelled in swell or strong wind. Phone before driving the single-track road down. The shore below the pier is worth it on its own.

Camasunary Bay walk wet
Over a pass to an empty bay and a bothy, facing the Cuillin across the water.
Blustery
Boreraig & Suisnish walk wet
Two townships cleared in 1853, reached by an old marble railway and a coastal shelf. Sobering.
Blustery
Bla Bheinn hill not safe
The Cuillin Munro that stands on its own, straight up from Loch Slapin with the ridge opposite.
Not safe on the tops — 50 mph up there, and they'll be in cloud
Torrin & Loch Slapin viewpoint viewpoint good
The best roadside view of Bla Bheinn there is, across a tidal loch. Cafe in the village.
