Eilean Bracach is a small tidal island linked at low tide to Gallochoille on the Isle of Gigha. There is only about 30 metres of hard mud and sand separating them. Compared to Ardminish Point, this island was very easy to access. I parked at Achamore House Gardens Car Park and walked half a mile down a track passed a couple of houses, on to a small beach where a couple were preparing to go kayaking and picked my way carefully across the mud, which thankfully was quite hard.
Eilean Bracach is an unremarkable flat island covered mainly in rough grass, scrub, reeds and heather with lots of rocky outcrops. There were a few wild flowers in bloom when I visited in early September 2012, including what looked like some Michaelmas daisies.
