Island 330 - Stangram, North Uist

Stangram is the 2nd of the two small tidal islands you pass by on the way across Vallay Strand at low tide to Vallay.  The island is low lying and mainly covered in grass.  It is about 150 metres from east to west but only 50 metres from north to south.

The island's flora looked to me to be more diverse than that of neighbouring Torogaigh, although it is the smaller of the two islands.  I identified milkwort, thyme, daisies, buttercups, primroses, birds foot trefoil, kidney vetch, thrift, clover and hogweed.  There were some dried up cow pats but no sign of any cows. I presume they sometimes wander over from Vallay.
