NF8253 : Ruaval (Ruabhal) summit

taken 16 years ago, near to Gramasdail, Na h-Eileanan an Iar, Scotland

Near the summit of Ruaval are a trig point and two fairly large cairns. This photo suggests, though it does not prove, that the trig point is at the true highest point. Taken in conjunction with NF8253 : Ruaval (Ruabhal) from the lower cairn, I think that the supremacy of the trig point is beyond doubt.
Ruaval is the highest point of Benbecula. As this island is mostly low-lying, it gives excellent views in all directions.
