Island 156 - Ard Thunga, Sutherland

Ard Thunga, like its neighbour Eilean Thunga, is linked to the mainland by the Kyle of Tongue Causeway/Bridge and has been since 1971.  It is very flat and has a car park and a litter bin and the remains of an old building.  In September 2011 I walked to it across the causeway, while staying in the excellent Tongue Youth Hostel, which is situated at the east end of the causeway.

This was the last new island of my holiday.  In 8 days I had visited 25 islands, of which 22 were new to me.  You can have too much of a good thing, so it was time to stop island collecting for a few months.
