Eilean an Rubha is a small tidal island located to the south of Inverlussa, which is on the east coast of Jura. It can be accessed across the beach from Inverlussa at low tide and is obviously visited by the cows, who were sitting on the beach, due to the presence of cow pats on the island. The gap between Jura and Eilean an Rubha is only about 30 metres wide. There were also a couple of discernible paths, so presumably it is also visited by people. It was a pleasant spot to spend a while exploring on a sunny morning.
The island is covered in rough grass, heathers, gorse, sedges, moss and bracken and wild flowers like thrift, tormentil and scabious.
Looking south down the coast of Jura -
bright orange lichens are growing on many of the rocks
Rocks smoothed and scratched by glaciers?
Looking north towards Inverlussa
