This is yet another Hebridean island called Orasaigh. This one is located off the north coast of the island of Vallay. It is probably only cut off at high tide and possibly not at all at neap tides. It is separated from Vallay by a beautiful beach of silver sand. By the time I had crossed to Vallay, had a look around the ruined houses and found a path to the north side of the island, I didn't have time to fully explore Orasaigh. The remains of a medieval chapel - Teampull Orain can be seen on the northern end of the island. However don't get too excited, as there are only a few scattered stones to see. Orasaigh is about 300 metres from north to south and 150 metres from east to west. It is covered in grass and buttercups.
