Island 267 - Rubha Da Chuain, Highland

This is another island that I cannot pronounce!  Rubha Da Chuain is a low lying rocky tidal island in 3 parts located 50 metres of the beach at Camusdarach, which is 1.5 miles to the south west of Morar in Highland Region. Some scenes in the film Local Hero, which is one of my favourite films, were filmed here.

It was a low spring tide when I visited and all 3 parts of the island were accessible.  The inner most part is covered in heather, scabious and a few small rowan and birch trees.  The middle section is covered in grass interspersed with pools of dark brown water.
