Stormy Seascape
It was so wild that we didn't go out at all on Sunday morning, but we did venture as far as the lighthouse in the afternoon. This is the waves rolling into the cove south of the rock on which the lighthouse stands. Although commonly referred to as the most westerly point on the British mainland, the lighthouse isn't quite on the most westerly spot; the next headland to the south, Corrachadh Mòr, extends about 100 metres further west than the one where the lighthouse stands.
