HY3415 : No longer an island
taken 11 years ago, near to Finstown, Mainland, Orkney Islands, Scotland
No longer an island
This strip of land is shown on older maps as a clear and distinct island.
Sedimentation and stabilizing plants have now made it more of a peninsula.
It'll be a few years yet before it will be accessible on foot.
At the other end of the Loch of Wasdale is a possible Crannog.

Interestingly the latter feature may once have had a causeway.
