Island 429 - Goat Island/Eilean na Gobhail 2, Stornoway, Lewis
Goat Island 2 is a very small tidal island, which is attached to the south east end of Goat Island at low tide. Goat Island is attached to the island of Lewis on the south side of the town of Stornoway by a permanent road causeway. Goat Island 2 is no more than 70 metres long by 25 metres wide. It is covered in grass and thrift was in flower when I visited in early June 2018. Goat Island 2 is separated from Goat Island by 50 metres of shingle and rock and it is an easy stroll. Goat Island 2 is made of some kind of conglomerate (a coarse-grained sedimentary rock composed of rounded fragments embedded in a matrix of cementing material).
